Indore Water Tragedy: Leaders Demand Action
In Indore, a city in India, the water got very dirty and 20 people died, including a six-month-old baby.
Over 40,000 people were affected, and many are still very sick.
Two leaders, Digvijaya Singh and Umang Singhar, are very upset.
They want a special judge to find out what went wrong and punish the people who caused this problem.
They also want the government to give money to the families who lost someone.
The Congress Party also wants a very high-level investigation.
The government offered some money, but the Congress Party says it's not enough.
They all say the government is not doing enough to help and are asking for a fair investigation.
20 people have died due to contaminated water in Indore, including a six-month-old infant.
Digvijaya Singh and Umang Singhar demand a judicial probe and FIRs against those responsible.
Umang Singhar demands ₹1 crore compensation for affected families and a water audit in Indore.
Congress Party demands a Supreme Court-level independent probe and criticizes the government's response.
The BJP government offered ₹2 lakh per victim, which the Congress Party finds insufficient.
