The Madhya Pradesh government has formed a high-level investigation committee to probe a deadly diarrhoea outbreak in Indore’s Bhagirathpura area. The outbreak, linked to contaminated drinking water supplied by the Indore Municipal Corporation, has claimed several lives. The state-level committee will review the contaminated water supply in detail and submit a report within a month. It is chaired by Additional Chief Secretary Sanjay Kumar Shukla and includes Principal Secretary P. Narahari and Commissioner Sanket Bhodve. Indore Divisional Commissioner Sudam Khade serves as member-secretary. According to a government statement, "The committee will examine the actual causes and relevant facts of the incident that occurred in Bhagirathpura, Indore, and analyse the administrative, technical, and management shortcomings related to the incident." It added the panel "would also determine the accountability of the officers/employees responsible for the incident." The committee will suggest measures to prevent such incidents again and can access records, reports, and conduct site inspections. The outbreak was first reported on December 29, 2025. Over 3,000 people have been affected so far. Government doctors' audit reports record 15 deaths, but local media reports say at least 24 people have died, including one recently. Eleven people remain hospitalized, with five in intensive care, said Indore Chief Medical and Health Officer Madhav Prasad Hasani.
