The water crisis in Indore has taken a serious turn after 16 people died from contaminated drinking water. Over 1,400 residents in Bhagirathpura have fallen ill. Doctors now fear long-term damage. A 67-year-old woman is on a ventilator with severe nerve problems after falling sick. Medical tests suggest acute nerve injury following stomach infection. Experts warn the contamination may have caused more than diarrhoea. The state health department has denied a confirmed link. Community health workers say the crisis has become systemic and mental. Residents demand accountability and clean water urgently.
