Indore is facing a public health crisis due to contaminated water, with reports linking the issue to its aging, over-a-century-old pipeline network. Residents have complained about foul, yellowish water, with issues dating back to last year. The historical infrastructure, initiated by the Holkar rulers in the early 1900s, was once a symbol of modernization but is now suspected to be a contributing factor to the current contamination affecting the Madhya Pradesh city.
