For the last three months, my mornings have been hectic. I need to ensure that all the household work is done before noon. That means cooking, cleaning, bathing, and filling water for miscellaneous purposes. That’s not a deadline set by me but by the maintenance team of my society in the Harlur area of Bengaluru, who have taken a call to stop the daily water supply from 12 pm to 3 pm.
Ironically, the City of Lakes has been facing severe water shortages for the last few months. I live in a multi-tower society, and we have had water issues since January 2024.
The Silicon City of India is drying up even before the summer arrives. And we don’t know how long the water cut will last or will it get worse. The team has not given a deadline.
