Indore Water Crisis: Deaths from Contamination

Indore Water Crisis: Deaths from Contamination

In Indore, a city known for its cleanliness, some people died because the drinking water was dirty.

A famous water expert, Rajendra Singh, said this happened because of a bad system and corruption.

The water comes from the Narmada River, 80 km away, and costs a lot of money to bring to the city.

Officials found a leak in the main water pipe near a toilet, which made the water dirty.

The mayor said the water is very expensive, like drinking ghee.

Some people say more than 16 people died, but officials say it's less.

The expert thinks the city should manage water better instead of relying only on the Narmada River.
