BHOPAL, Jan. 3 -- Madhya Pradesh chief minister Mohan Yadav on Friday ordered the transfer of Indore's additional commissioner and issued show-cause notices to the commissioner, finally cracking down on errant senior officials who allegedly sat on complaints of contaminated water for at least two months before a spate of deaths sparked national outrage. The development came on a day the Madhya Pradesh high court took up the crisis even as the toll climbed to 10 amid mounting criticism of government inaction after complaints from residents of Bhagirathpura, a congested neighbourhood in Indore, in October of foul smell and sewage in their drinking water supply. "This morning, I reviewed the actions being taken by the state government in the Indore contaminated drinking water case with the chief secretary and other officials and issued necessary directives," Yadav said on X. "I instructed that show-cause notices be issued to the Indore Municipal Corporation commissioner and additional commissioner in this regard. The additional commissioner be immediately transferred from Indore, and the in-charge superintending engineer be relieved of his duties." The crisis became public on December 29 when sme residents of Bhagirathpura died after complaining of vomiting and diarrhoea. Since then, officials have confirmed that sewage mixed with the drinking water supply after a toilet was built with no safety checks. Meanwhile, the state government on Friday informed the Madhya Pradesh high court that the Bhagirathpura health crisis has been categorised as a "public health contingency", and the situation has successfully stabilised following the implementation of emergency measures and continuous monitoring. In a detailed 40-page status report along with annexures submitted before the Indore Bench of the high court, the Sub-divisional magistrate said the state government had taken all required measures and not treated the matter as a "routine medical issue"....
