A local, Suresh told ANI, "For 6 months, this area has not received water from the corporation. They have given us Cauvery connections, which would have benefitted us. We have to book 2-3 days in advance for water. We have to pay Rs. 1600-2000 for one water tanker."
"We have to buy water, we have no other source of water... We do not have water even to drink. In the upcoming summers, we would have to face a lot of difficulties... We have pipes of Cauvery connections, but there is no water," he said.
