The district administration of Indore in Madhya Pradesh has sealed nine factories after they were found discharging untreated industrial waste into Kshipra and Kanh rivers, officials said on Wednesday.

As per the instructions of Chief Minister Mohan Yadav, this action was taken in the industrial areas located at Palda, Sanwer Road, Bardari and Lakshmibai Nagar as part of the campaign to make the Kshipra river pollution-free before the Simhastha Kumbh Mela to be held in Ujjain in 2028, they said.
