The administration admitted the mistake

Collector Shivam Verma himself confirmed that there was a huge disturbance in the water supply. After the death of one more patient on Thursday, the death toll reached 14. For the administration, this matter has now become not only a health crisis but also a crisis of trust.

Hundreds sick, thousands affected

The situation started worsening on Monday when more than 100 people suddenly fell ill due to vomiting and diarrhea in Bhagirathpura. There were eight deaths on Tuesday alone. So far, about 2800 patients have been identified, out of which 201 are undergoing treatment in different hospitals.

Battle for life in ICU

The seriousness of this crisis can be gauged from the fact that 32 patients are currently admitted in ICU and their condition remains critical. On Thursday too, new patients appeared in the area, although most of them were sent home after first aid. Still, an atmosphere of fear and insecurity persists.

Anger erupted over compensation

When Cabinet Minister Kailash Vijayvargiya arrived to give relief checks to the affected families, he had to face the anger of the local people. People alleged that the administration was hiding the real number of deaths. The minister also admitted that the actual figure could be higher and appropriate assistance would be provided after investigation.

Strictness of Human Rights Commission

Seeing the seriousness of the matter, the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has taken suo motu cognizance. The Commission has sought a detailed report from the Chief Secretary of Madhya Pradesh within two weeks. The commission also said that complaints about contaminated water were already being received, but timely action was not taken.

Court’s eye, test of accountability

Two PILs filed in the High Court regarding the Bhagirathpura drinking water incident are to be heard on Friday. The government will have to present a status report explaining how many patients were affected, what is the arrangement for free treatment and what steps have been taken to ensure that such incidents do not happen again in future. Now this matter has become not just a matter of disease but also a fight to fix accountability.
