Congress leaders visit Baghirathpura settlement in Indore over contaminated water scandal

Indore's Baghirathpura settlement, long plagued by a contaminated drinking‑water crisis, saw a delegation of Congress leaders arrive on Sunday. City Congress president Chintu Chauke, accompanied by other party members, met the residents to hear their grievances first‑hand.
The families recounted health problems and daily hardships caused by the polluted supply and reiterated their demand for swift legal action against those they hold responsible. They also pressed for a comprehensive compensation package to cover medical expenses and loss of livelihood.
The visit underscores the party's renewed focus on the issue, signalling political pressure on local authorities to expedite investigations and remedial measures. No official response from the municipal or state water department has been recorded at the time of reporting.
The leaders pledged to raise the matter within the party's state unit and to monitor the progress of any punitive or remedial steps taken by the government.
