Indore Diarrhoea Outbreak: Contaminated Water Leads to Hospitalizations and Deaths

Indore is grappling with a diarrhoea outbreak in the Bhagirathpura area, attributed to contaminated drinking water. Health teams have screened over 9,000 people, detecting 20 new cases, with 142 currently hospitalized, including 11 in ICUs. While officials confirm six deaths, residents claim the toll is higher. Investigations point to a police outpost toilet's faulty drainage system mixing sewage with water supply. The crisis has led to political protests and calls for accountability.
