Bhopal Water Quality Concerns: Sampling, Pipeline Issues, and Testing Scrutiny

Bhopal Municipal Corporation is intensifying water sampling, collecting over 1,000 samples in three days, though concerns exist that only a fraction are tested. Allegations suggest reports are generated for many more samples, raising doubts about water safety. Experts highlight that nearly 80% of water supply lines are intertwined with sewage pipelines, violating safety standards. Additionally, rapid test reporting is questioned, with claims that complex tests are completed in hours. Plans are underway to replace aging pipelines under the AMRUT 2.0 scheme, while a recent leak near a drain has also sparked resident concern.
