Indore Water Crisis: 16 Dead, 1,400+ Ill

In Indore, a city known for being clean, many people got very sick from drinking bad water.

Sixteen people have died, and over 1,400 are ill.

A 67-year-old woman named Parvati Bai Kondla is very sick with a rare nerve problem called Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS).

Doctors think the bad water might have caused this.

The government says they are not sure, but experts are worried.

The water problem is very serious, and people need help.

The government took a big loan to fix the water, but some say they are not doing enough.

Families of the victims say their loved ones died quickly after drinking the contaminated water, with symptoms like vomiting and diarrhea.

Doctors are still trying to find out exactly what caused the contamination.
