Indore is facing a severe health crisis following a diarrhoea outbreak in the Bhagirathpura area, attributed to contaminated drinking water. Investigations confirmed the presence of pathogens like E. coli and Salmonella in tap water, linked to a sewage leak from a toilet built over a water pipeline. Officially, six deaths are confirmed, but local claims suggest a higher toll, with hundreds hospitalized. Experts are probing the contamination, while water conservationist Rajendra Singh has labeled the event a 'system-created disaster' fueled by corruption. Political protests have erupted, demanding accountability.
