Probe Extended: Indore Water Tragedy Under Scrutiny

The Madhya Pradesh High Court has granted an extension to the judicial commission investigating the Indore water contamination tragedy. The commission, led by former High Court judge Sushil Kumar Gupta, will now have until June 2026 to submit its findings.

Reports of deaths due to contaminated drinking water in Bhagirathpura have sparked multiple petitions and public outcry. While local authorities and opposition parties claim differing figures of deceased individuals, the commission continues its in-depth examination of the water supply system and health impact.

The commission's interim findings have been presented under seal, with final reports anticipated to provide clarity on accountability and safety measures. Both the state government and affected families await decisive action as the situation develops.
