A severe diarrhoea outbreak in Indore's Bhagirathpura area, caused by contaminated drinking water, has led to multiple deaths and hospitalizations. Investigations point to a leak in a water pipeline near a police outpost toilet as the source of contamination, with sewage seeping into the supply. Water conservationist Rajendra Singh attributes the crisis to systemic corruption and mismanagement. While officials confirm six deaths, local residents and the mayor report higher numbers. Health teams are screening residents, and a national institute is investigating the contamination.
