Bengaluru Water Supply

Prime Minister Narendra Modi today launched a strong attack on Bengaluru's infrastructure crisis as the result of the Congress's mismanagement of the city.

Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar on Thursday said that he will make sure the supply of Cauvery river water to the residents of Bengaluru by "hook or by crook".

There is "no water crisis" in Bengaluru, Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar said Thursday, even as he flagged off auto-rickshaws laden with hoardings to spread awareness about water conservation.

Bengaluru faces a water crisis exacerbated by depleting groundwater levels and a drought in the Cauvery basin.

Bengaluru has introduced a penalty for wasting drinking water as the city grapples with an acute shortage. The decision was taken by the Bengaluru Water Supply and Sewerage Board in a bid to promote judicious use of water.

Some Bengaluru schools may be forced to shut down temporarily due to the growing water shortage in the city; These schools say the lack of water means they can't protect children from the heat.

Water supply to parts of Bengaluru will be disrupted for 24 hours starting 6 am because city officials need to do "essential maintenance work" and install Unaccounted for Water (UfW) bulk flow meters.

Bengaluru is struggling with an acute water crisis with the onset of summer, prompting a 24-hour water supply cut starting Tuesday.

Every day more than 1,000 water tankers rumble past Nagraj's small plywood store in Bengaluru, throwing up clouds of dust as they rush their valuable cargo to homes and offices in the drought-stricken tech hub.

The National Green Tribunal has directed authorities to close 76 polluting industrial units around Bengaluru's Bellandur lake. A bench headed by NGT Chairperson Justice Swatanter Kumar directed the Bengaluru Deputy Commissioner and the authorities concerned to ensure immediate disconnection of water and electricity supply to these plants.

With the supply from Cauvery drying up, large parts of Bengaluru have become dependent private water tankers. An NDTV investigation found the tankers - which charge between Rs 700 and Rs 1,500 for a single trip - are drawing water from some of the most polluted lakes in the city - including Bellandur, which is perpetually in the news for its pollut...
