The toxic water crisis in Indore has spiraled into a major public health emergency. Residents allege that contaminated water continues to flow from taps and tankers, despite High Court orders to ensure safe drinking water. While citizens struggle with polluted supplies, officials and bureaucrats are seen consuming packaged mineral water. The crisis has now spread beyond Indore to Ujjain, prompting municipal warnings. With officials evading questions and delayed action from authorities, public anger is rising. The government claims corrective steps are underway, but critics say the response is too little, too late.
