Bengaluru is facing a severe water crisis, as highlighted by Union Minister Rajeev Chandrashekhar in Delhi and Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar. Chandrashekhar criticized the Karnataka government for halting development and increasing electricity prices, alongside a water shortage in Bengaluru. Shivakumar acknowledged the crisis, noting that 50% of the city's borewells have dried up, with 6,997 out of approximately 14,700 borewells no longer functioning and 7,784 still working. In response, the state government plans to take over private water tankers and all borewells to manage the situation, as reported by ChristinMP_. Local residents, including Suresh, have reported not receiving water from the corporation for six months, despite being given Cauvery connections, forcing them to book water 2-3 days in advance. Shivakumar also revealed that even the borewell at his home has dried up, underscoring the widespread nature of the crisis. From Nagpur, Maharashtra, BJP MP Tejasvi Surya criticized the government's inaction despite warnings that the monsoons would fail, leading to a situation where hundreds of apartments lack water access.
