A heartbreaking tragedy has unfolded in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, where a family lost their five-month-old infant after the baby fell seriously ill, allegedly due to contaminated drinking water. The incident has triggered outrage and concern over public health and water safety in the affected area.

According to reports, the infant developed severe symptoms, including fever and diarrhoea, after consuming milk prepared with tap water supplied to the locality. Despite medical treatment, the child’s condition deteriorated rapidly, and the baby died while being taken to a hospital. The loss is especially devastating for the family, as the child was born after several years of waiting.

Health officials later confirmed that the drinking water in the area was contaminated due to a leak in the water pipeline, which allowed sewage to mix with the supply. Several residents reportedly fell ill with similar symptoms, prompting authorities to launch an emergency response, including medical camps and water testing.

Following the incident, local authorities assured strict action and said steps were being taken to repair pipelines and provide safe drinking water to residents. The tragedy has intensified demands for accountability, improved infrastructure, and timely warnings to prevent such incidents in the future.

The death of the infant has deeply shocked the community and raised serious questions about civic negligence and public safety.
