The Congress will take out a Nyay Yatra in Indore on Sunday to protest the Bhagirathpura contaminated water tragedy, which has claimed 21 lives so far and left hundreds hospitalised. Several patients are still undergoing treatment, even as anger grows over the incident. The Congress alleged that the BJP-led government and the administration responsible for what it described as a grave civic failure. The party alleged that negligence by the authorities led to the loss of lives in Bhagirathpura, calling the incident a blot on the city. Congress leaders said Indore was increasingly becoming a city of tragedies, where human lives were being lost due to administrative apathy. Nyay Yatra from Bada Ganpati to Rajwada
