Water Crisis in Bengaluru: City Faces Harder Days...
Bengaluru, the capital of karnataka, has been dealing with a serious water crisis for a number of days, and as the summer heat builds, the city is going to data-face more hardships. This is especially true in areas like Varthur, which is part of the Mahadevpur assembly constituency, where residents are finding it difficult to meet their basic needs and quench their thirst. We haven't had a reliable water supply for the past two weeks. We only get drinking water once a week," a resident told the news agency, echoing the complaints of numerous other city dwellers on the inadequate water supply.
Concerned about the current state of affairs, the locals have pushed the city's main civic organization, Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP), to give the water issue first priority and guarantee consistent supply. In order to address Bengaluru's drinking water shortage, karnataka Chief minister Siddaramaiah, his deputy DK Shivakumar, cabinet ministers, and representatives and secretaries of their respective departments convened on march 5. At the meeting, they issued a warning to water tanker owners throughout the state, threatening to seize their vehicles if they did not register with the authorities by march 7.A government estimate as of february 10 states that because of the expected severity of this year's summer, as many as 7,082 villages across karnataka and 1,193 wards, including Bengaluru Urban district, might data-face a drinking water problem in the upcoming months.According to a revenue department assessment, most wards in Uttara kannada and the bulk of villages in Tumakuru district (746), are facing a serious water shortage in the near future.There are 120 wards and 174 villages in the Bengaluru Urban area that are at risk. people are forced to use restrooms at malls due to the extreme severity of the water problem, and many are venting their frustrations on social media. Because of the urgency of the situation, the karnataka Water Supply and Sewerage Board has issued an order that forbids using drinking water for building, car washing, or water fountains. Violators of the order data-face a fine of Rs 5,000. Boundaries in Bengaluru are also drying up.
