Indore Water Tragedy Sparks Opposition Outrage in MP Assembly

The Opposition in the MP legislative assembly disrupted proceedings over the Indore contaminated water tragedy. They criticized the governor's mention of 'clean water,' amidst calls for transparency regarding state debt and budget implementation. 35 lives were reportedly lost due to government negligence in handling water safety.

The MP legislative assembly was thrown into chaos as the Opposition raised an uproar over the tragic incident involving contaminated drinking water in Indore, which claimed 35 lives. Lawmakers objected to the governor's 'clean water' pledge during the budget session's opening address, resulting in session adjournment.

Governor Mangubhai Patel faced strong dissent from opposition leader Umang Singhar and fellow Congress members as he articulated the state government's achievements, amidst ongoing protest and the thumping of tables from treasury benches.

The Assembly Speaker adjourned the house, noting that the address was considered read. Opposition voices demanded a white paper on state debt and called for transparency in fiscal matters. The government acknowledged 16 deaths due to contaminated water in a court report.
