Congress alleges 15 deaths in Indore as official toll remains at five; CM orders action against top officials

The Madhya Pradesh government has transferred one senior official in the Indore Municipal Corporation (IMC) following allegations of contaminated water causing at least 15 deaths. Mohan Yadav, the Chief Minister, ordered the transfer and issued directives for corrective measures across the state to prevent similar incidents. Uma Bharti, former CM and BJP leader, criticized the government's response, demanding "maximum punishment" for those responsible. The IMC has faced public discontent over delayed action on complaints of dirty water and a stalled new water supply line project. The official death toll stands at five, with 210 people hospitalized due to the contamination.
