BANGALORE: Allegedly, the biggies in the area are controlling the supply of water, while many stare into their empty taps eagerly waiting for water.
When TNIE spoke to some of the residents, they were wary of talking to the media for in the last two weeks, they have received sufficient water supply."Now that the monsoon has begun, we have been receiving weekly supply of water. It had been a difficult summer for us," said Krishna, a resident of South Lingarajapuram.

Anthony, president of resident's welfare association explained: "The valves situated in 3rd and 4th main are controlled by the powerful people in the area. On many days, we find the valve being turned off so that water does not reach us, while residents located in the surroundings of Lingarajpuram underpass get very good supply."

Residents complained that Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB) is not taking any action despite many complaints.

What's your reaction?
