In Indore’s Bhagirathpura area, a six-month-old baby, Avyan Sahu, died due to water contamination that caused a severe vomiting and diarrhoea outbreak. Avyan was born after 10 years of prayers and vows, which makes the loss even harder for the family. The baby fell sick after being fed packaged milk diluted with tap water. Despite home treatment and hospital care, Avyan passed away on December 29, 2025. The Sahu family has refused the government’s ₹2 lakh compensation, saying, "Our child is gone. Will the compensation bring him back to life? Money is not greater than a child," said grandmother Krishna Sahu. Residents say 15 people died in the last year from this outbreak, though the health department confirms only four deaths. More than 1,400 people were affected in the last nine days alone, with 272 admitted to hospitals as of January 1, 2025. Thirty-two patients remain in intensive care. Neighbour Anita Sen urged, "Now the government should ensure no mother is robbed of a child due to contaminated water." The health crisis highlights a serious concern over unsafe drinking water in the area.
