Public loses faith in Indore’s water supply after contamination deaths

Published by Webster

The water contamination tragedy in Madhya Pradesh’s commercial capital Indore has left people shunning municipal tap supply and scurrying for bottled water, putting a financial strain on those with limited means. Stall owners are using bottled water to make tea to reassure customers of safety. Despite using bottled water, the price of tea has not been increased, pointed out tea stall owner Tushar Verma. According to officials, six people have died and more than 200 were hospitalised in an outbreak of vomiting and diarrhoea caused by contaminated drinking water in Bhagirathpura, which has a large population from low and middle-income groups. The death figures, however, vary, ranging from 10 to 16. “Yes, we are now scared of drinking water from municipal taps. We need proof that the water is clean, only then will we drink it. My family is currently buying drinking water jars from the market, paying between Rs 20 and Rs 30 per jar,” Sunita, a resident of Marathi Mohalla, said on Saturday. She claimed the area was getting “dirty water” from taps …

More than a week after residents of Bhagirathpura in Indore fell ill from consuming contaminated water, test reports of water samples on Saturday confirmed the tap water was a cocktail of deadly pathogens — including E coli, Salmonella and Vibrio cholerae bacteria, along with viruses, fungi and protozoa — that caused polymicrobial infections leading to multi-organ failure and sepsis among patients, officials said. Doctors and experts, however, criticised the delay in testing, saying the lag likely contributed to deaths as polymicrobial infections require rapid pathogen identification for targeted treatment. (PTI) At least 10 people have died and 210 have been hospitalised since the outbreak began on December 25, with residents blaming officials for ignoring months of complaints about foul-smelling water in the congested locality. As many as 32 patients are being treated in intensive care units.
