Indore Water Tragedy: Deaths in India's 'Cleanest City' Spark Political Storm; BJP Under Fire

In a shocking development from India's 'cleanest city', a water contamination tragedy in Indore has claimed at least eight lives and left many ill. The India Today report reveals that sewage leakage into drinking water pipelines caused the disaster, prompting a fierce political backlash. While Madhya Pradesh Minister Kailash Vijayvargiya has assured a fix within two days, opposition leaders including Samajwadi Party's Akhilesh Yadav and AIMIM's Asaduddin Owaisi have launched scathing attacks, questioning the reality of the BJP's 'Smart City' claims. Residents, forced to buy packaged water, expressed outrage, with one stating, 'Compensation by money will not get back the lives.' The National Human Rights Commission has issued notices, and the High Court has sought a status report.
