Indore's Water Crisis Deepens: Drainage Water Contaminates Taps, Samples Taken

• Indore, the cleanest city, faces a severe water contamination issue with drainage water mixing into Narmada pipelines.
• Following 15 deaths in Bhagirathpura, residents of Sutar Gali on Jail Road report a similar long-standing problem.
• Local resident Bhupendra Makwana states the first 10 minutes of water supply are dirty drainage water, filling tanks.
• Contaminated water leads to widespread diseases, street filth, mosquito breeding, and foul smells.
• Residents are forced to boil water, buy expensive water, or install RO systems, facing social embarrassment.
