India's Water Crisis: Indore Deaths, Gandhinagar Typhoid, Bengaluru Sewage Contamination

• Indore saw 15 deaths from contaminated water; only 33% of samples were potable, yet officials faced only show-cause notices.
• Gandhinagar reports over 100 suspected typhoid cases in five days due to dirty water, leading to hospitalizations and a health survey.
• Bengaluru's Lingarajapuram area has sewage mixing with drinking water for 2-3 months, causing severe illness and hospitalizations.
• Residents complain of vomiting, stomach pain, fever, and diarrhea, with BWSSB failing to fix the leakage despite complaints since December.
• Public anger grows over official negligence and lack of criminal action, questioning 'Smart City' claims amidst basic water issues.

Why It Matters: Despite Indore deaths, authorities fail to ensure safe drinking water, leading to widespread illness in Gandhinagar and Bengaluru.
