Indore (Madhya Pradesh): A silent killer flowed through household taps, claiming multiple lives overnight as residents across several localities died after consuming contaminated drinking water. What began
as a normal evening—families cooking dinner, feeding children and retiring to bed—ended in sudden illness, panic and death by morning.
They went to bed healthy but by morning, all of them were dead. Before going to bed, some cooked dinner, some laughed with family, some fed their children.. Across homes connected by the same water supply, contaminated drinking water did not spare any of them. Vomiting, diarrhoea and sudden collapse followed. Their families rushed them to the hospital, only to hear the same words at hospital doors: brought dead.
These are not isolated deaths. They are lives lost to a failure that flowed through household taps—claiming the elderly, the young, and even a five-month-old infant. Each name below is a reminder that this tragedy was sudden, brutal, and entirely preventable.
