Bhagirathpura... In 2019, it was discovered that the water from 60 tube wells and hand pumps was contaminated. The commission acknowledged this, but those responsible did not pay attention. Between December and February of that year, there were 36 deaths in Indore due to this contamination.

The judicial inquiry report into the case of 36 deaths due to drinking contaminated water in Bhagirathpura, Indore, has revealed serious flaws in the system. The inquiry commission, headed by retired High Court Justice Sushil Gupta, found that people were being supplied with water that was not potable. This was not a sudden tragedy that could have been prevented. The lack of monitoring, negligence, and improper functioning of the water-sewerage system are to blame.
