Madhya Pradesh Urban Development Minister Kailash Vijayvargiya stated that the health condition in Indore’s Bhagirathpura area, where contaminated drinking water led to fatalities, is gradually getting back to normal. The administration has initiated health check-ups for all residents in the area, with medical teams conducting door-to-door visits for assessments. Vijayvargiya mentioned that around 50,000-60,000 residents are being examined, and those requiring additional treatment will receive necessary care.
Thirty percent of the work on installing a new pipeline for Narmada drinking water in Bhagirathpura has been finished, with water quality testing underway at various sites. Narmada water supply is expected to resume in parts of the area within the next few days. Additionally, officials, including Additional Chief Secretary Mohan Yadav, Neeraj Mandloi, and others, inspected the situation on-site and engaged with locals to assess the progress.
Neeraj Mandloi, an Additional Chief Secretary, shared that water supply would be restored in a third of Bhagirathpura shortly. A significant water pipeline project is in progress, with approvals granted for all development activities, aiming for completion within the next one to two months. Mandloi, after arriving in Indore, held discussions with key administrative figures to oversee the ongoing efforts.
