      > ranked India’s “cleanest city” for the last eight years.

      Indian redditors, this is true ?

      After what happened in Flint, Michigan I don’t drink tap water.  On the rare occasions I do it has to go through a filter.

      When I was in India, I was told to only drink bottled water and to also make sure that the bottle was sealed and unopened (to make sure that it wasn’t filled with tap water). I can imagine it probably isn’t affordable or realistic for the average Indian citizen to be only drinking bottled water. Plus, think of all the plastic waste.

      FYI: one of the reasons India’s tap water is not drinkable without significant filtration is because they don’t fix their aging water supply systems, even in good areas. The pipes are cracked and otherwise porous at this point, plus sewage is everywhere and poorly separated underground, so those pipes leak and then contaminate freshwater lines and not to mention, most open water supplies are contaminated anyhow. Then comes the contamination of rivers, streams, springs, and so on. It’s simply people don’t care after generations of getting them to try to start caring. They care more about having nukes to destroy Pakistan and how many billionaires th country has, but not about their own drinking water. People also have accepted they can just get bottled water (much of it is counterfeit and simple tap water) and they can give a shit about their fresh water supplies and continue to blame the British.

      We also can’t forget that industries like factories and such simply discharge chemicals directly into the drains and sewage, rivers and streams and in the ground. All this ends up in the tap water and makes it so potentially there’s not enough purification in the world that can make the water safe.

      Every news from India I see solidifies the stereotypes there are about this country 🤦‍♂️

      >Residents of a congested, lower-income neighbourhood in Indore, Madhya Pradesh’s commercial capital, had been warning authorities for months about foul-smelling tap water. Their complaints went unheeded, despite the city’s much-lauded ranking for waste segregation and other cleanliness measures.

      So the ranking is bullshit. The authorities obviously don’t care.

      Condolences to the affected families. This is not a good way to go with all that dehydration and multiple organs shutting down. 10 people dying and 2500 people getting sick clearly shows a lack of apathy from the local government of the city, which was considered to be the cleanest in the country for eight years running (some buffoonery).
