1cr Prestige houses denied water by Government
Am not against people buying flats but these kind of moves by government forcing me to think against planning to buy 1cr flats ... Water 💦 is scarce, in long term none of tier 1 cities will be livable? PS - El Nino and Global Warning smiling in corner
Karnataka transport department officials told Moneycontrol that they seized eight water tankers in Bengaluru on Saturday

Congress didn't ignore it, BJP left them with a fked situation.
This would've been the situation 1-2 years ago already if covid didn't happen. Water use reduction by commercial activities saved some time but it's back to square one.

Same situation here. I’m renting a flat worth 2.4 crores and only getting water a few hours per day.

Which area?
No, the highlight of the article is that govt is cracking down on tankers in order to meet water requirements of villages. In the coming weeks, BWSSB will want at least 150 tankers for themselves.
This not a flats problem,
This is india level planning and population issue.
Even smaller city like Jaipur has water shortage issues.

Yes, it is. High density housing issue. Too many people in too little places are crammed together. Causing not only water but pollution and traffic issues.
Just last month I said to encourage water plant building by hype marketing it as a startup idea like "building infra for water decentralisation using AI".
