Indore, recently inducted into the Super Swachh League for cleanliness, is facing criticism after a contaminated water tragedy in Bhagirathpura killed 10 residents and affected 1,400. The incident has exposed potential flaws in the Swachh Survekshan parameters, particularly regarding water and wastewater management and complaint handling. A tender to replace the affected pipeline was reportedly opened only after the deaths, raising questions about administrative oversight despite the city's high cleanliness rankings.
