Under fire over the death of at least four persons due to water contamination in Bhagirathpura area in Indore, the Madhya Pradesh government shunted out the Indore municipal commissioner and suspended two senior officials.
The health crisis was now under control due to the emergency measures taken, and there was “no abnormal increase in fresh cases,” the BJP government told the High Court earlier in the day.
In a post on X following a review meeting on the issue, Chief Minister Mohan Yadav said his government will not tolerate any laxity which might have led to the tragedy, and strict action was being taken.
He had ordered the “removal” (transfer) of municipal commissioner Dilip Kumar Yadav, and the suspension of additional municipal commissioner Rohit Sissoniya and in-charge superintendent engineer of Public Health Engineering department Sanjeev Shrivastava, the CM said.
Earlier on Friday, the government submitted a 40-page status report before the High Court, in response to a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed by Ritesh Inani.
