According to Indian media reports on the 2nd, drinking water was contaminated in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, India.

The report said that the local government ordered the testing agency to test the water samples. The results showed that fecal coliforms were positive. Various bacteria contained in them can cause severe vomiting and diarrhea. A statement from the Indore Health Department said that investigators suspect that sewage from a toilet at a police checkpoint in the city failed to connect to the sewage network, but was mistakenly discharged and mixed with the city's water supply before entering the drinking water pipe. At the same time, the statement said that the repair work on the affected pipelines has been completed, and the water supply has been restored after inspection.
