Speaking to the media, the Madhya Pradesh Congress president said people earlier died due to spurious liquor. He claimed BJP rule has now forced citizens to die after drinking poisoned water. He asserted that the Congress will approach the High Court seeking justice for the victims.

Patwari alleged that tenders for a new water pipeline were cleared in 2022. However, disputes over commission sharing and contractor stakes stalled the project. As a result, authorities never laid the pipeline. He further claimed the Pollution Control Board warned about water contamination in 2017. Despite this, officials allegedly ignored the report.

Holding senior leaders accountable, Patwari demanded immediate dismissal of cabinet minister Kailash Vijayvargiya. He also sought an FIR against Mayor Pushyamitra Bhargava. He called for criminal cases against the municipal commissioner and the local councillor.

Patwari said Indore contributes nearly 20 percent to Madhya Pradesh’s economy. Despite this, the city receives little development support. He questioned how residents still die without clean water. He urged Chief Minister Mohan Yadav to act firmly against corrupt officials.

After contaminated water caused multiple deaths in Bhagirthpura, authorities deployed water tankers. However, these tankers remain covered in rust, algae, and visible filth. Locals say the supplied water smells foul and appears unsafe. Similar scenes have emerged from Sonia Gandhi Nagar, Gulzar Colony, and Pipliyarao areas.

In Sonia Gandhi Nagar, drinking water pipelines pass directly through sewage-filled lanes. Frequent leakages allow dirty drain water to mix with tap water. Every morning, households receive black, foul-smelling water in the name of Narmada supply.

A TDS meter test conducted during the ground report revealed alarming contamination levels. Former central nodal officer Sudhindra Mohan Sharma warned that prolonged consumption may cause kidney failure and severe infections. Municipal officials identified 69 contaminated borewells in Bhagirthpura and began emergency chlorination.

Residents pay nearly ₹300 monthly water bills. In return, they receive toxic water for barely 15 minutes daily. With no response from elected leaders, over 40,000 people now depend on costly RO cans or unsafe tanker water. Political protests have intensified across Madhya Pradesh.
