After eight deaths and nearly 200 hospitalisations due to contaminated water in Indore, the Madhya Pradesh High Court has directed civic authorities to ensure clean drinking water in all areas. The Court has also sought a detailed status report from the State and municipal officials on the cause of contamination and remedial measures.
Residents in East Delhi have reported contaminated, black water since June 12. The Delhi High Court mandated the Delhi Jal Board to inspect affected areas and ensure clean drinking water is supplied. Failure to resolve this issue poses serious health risks, prompting further hearings scheduled for July 5.
