At least 22 people in Indore’s Mhow area fell ill after consuming contaminated drinking water, prompting hospitalisation and medical monitoring. Nine were admitted, while others receive treatment at home as authorities survey affected neighbourhoods. This new wave comes weeks after a larger waterborne disease crisis linked to contaminated pipelines in Bhagirathpura that earlier killed at least 15 people and hospitalised many more amid diarrhoea and vomiting outbreaks. The local administration, led by District Collector Shivam Verma, deployed health teams and began a rapid response to contain further spread. A high-level probe into the causes and accountability is underway. (PC: PTI)
