Madhya Pradesh: A silent killer flowing from household taps claimed many lives overnight. Residents in several areas died from drinking contaminated drinking water. What began as a normal evening—families cooking dinner, feeding children, and sleeping—suddenly turned into illness, panic, and death by morning.
They slept well, but by morning, they were all dead. Before going to sleep, some cooked dinner, some joked with family, some fed their children. In homes connected to the same water supply, the contaminated drinking water spared none of them. Vomiting, diarrhea, and sudden fainting began. Their families rushed them to the hospital, but the only response at the hospital door was: “Brought in dead.”
These were not isolated deaths. These were caused by faulty household taps—claiming the lives of the elderly, the young, and even a five-month-old baby. Each name below is a reminder that this tragedy was sudden, brutal, and completely preventable.
