Indore has long held the title of India’s cleanest city as a point of pride. But the new year of 2026 has also ushered in something of a reality check. What started with a brace of stomachaches in the Bhagirathpura neighborhood has blown into a full-fledged public health crisis. After days of speculation and increasing death tolls, laboratory results from Mahatma Gandhi Memorial (MGM) Medical College have at last confirmed the community’s worst fear: The municipal water supply was heavily contaminated with raw sewage, leading to an outbreak of lethal waterborne disease. The Lab Results: A Toxic Cocktail Blood and urine drawn from patients…

Nature tells us in whispers… but then there are times it screams so loud that the silence is deafening. In the Madhya Pradesh district of Khargone that silence has turned deafening. It’s normally alive with the chattering and green flashes of rose-ringed parakeets, but the local groves have become a place of deep mourning. Hundreds of parrots were discovered dead on forest ground in a grim reminder of the consequences when wildlife is forced to come into contact with humans. The preliminary cause? Mass food poisoning. This is apparently not a local news sound bite; this is a staggering reminder of how delicate our…
