The Congress has raised alarms about severe contamination in Indore's drinking water, asserting that almost 98% of tested samples do not meet safety standards. These findings reportedly come from tests conducted in response to fatalities in Bhagirathpura.
Party leader Jitu Patwari highlighted alarming bacteria and chemical levels found during analysis. Indore Mayor Pushyamitra Bhargava, however, denied any wrongdoing, suggesting a political motive behind these accusations.
This controversy stems from earlier community grievances and deaths linked to contaminated water, with ongoing investigations seeking to establish accountability.
