Indore Water Tragedy: Ground Report From Worst-Hit Area Bhagirathpura

In this Special Report, India Today's Piyush Mishra reports from Indore's Bhagirathpura, where a severe water contamination crisis has claimed at least nine lives. Residents allege that 'sewer line and drinking water pipes that run side by side' caused the tragedy, a claim backed by lab tests confirming contamination. The programme highlights the irony of the 'cleanest city' in India facing such a public health disaster, with locals accusing the administration of waking up only after deaths occurred. The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has taken cognisance, and the opposition has launched a scathing attack on the BJP government.
