The drinking water contamination issue gripping parts of Indore district has resurfaced, with at least 22 people falling ill in Mhow tehsil after consuming suspected contaminated water.

The incident, reported from Chander Marg in Patti Bazaar, has led to nine hospitalisations, while others are receiving treatment at home under medical supervision.

Symptoms primarily include vomiting, diarrhoea, and in some cases, jaundice,



raising public alarm following the recent deadly outbreak in Bhagirathpura.

Late Thursday night, Indore District Collector Shivam Verma rushed to the affected area upon receiving reports. He visited the hospital, interacted with patients and their families, and inspected the locality.

Verma directed doctors and health officials to ensure prompt and proper treatment for all affected individuals, emphasising zero tolerance for negligence.
