Bhagirathpura: 36 deaths, yet no accountability - Singhar says the file remained with the mayor for 66 days, 49 days in tendering and 63 days in approval.

In the context of the Bhagirathpura contaminated drinking water tragedy, Leader of Opposition Umang Singhar held a press conference at his residence on Friday in the Legislative Assembly. He questioned the functioning of the government and the municipal corporation, demanding that responsibility be fixed based on the judicial inquiry commission's report and relief be provided to the affected families. The public report by the commission mentions an investigation into 36 deaths and suggests that 22 deaths were potentially caused by contaminated water.
