The problem, in one line
What happens
Between December 2025 and February 2026, more than 100 people suffered from ailments such as acute gastroenteritis, acute diarrhoea, vomiting and severe dehydration after consuming contaminated water supplied by the Indore Municipal Corporation. The tragedy claimed more than 30 lives; the judicial commission's report links 22 deaths to it, citing hospital records. Of the 52 water samples taken by the Madhya Pradesh Pollution Control Board amid the tragedy, 50 were positive for total coliform and 40 for E. Coli. The commission found the immediate cause was ingress of sewage into the drinking water distribution system, with prescribed clearances between sewerage and water pipelines not maintained. The commission listed inadequate monitoring of drinking water quality and lack of effective coordination among departments among the failures that contributed to the incident.
