Fine collected from people for wasting water in Bengaluru
The water crisis in Karnataka’s capital, Bengaluru, is not ending. Meanwhile, on the occasion of Holi on March 25, Holi was played with great enthusiasm by wasting water in a flat in the city. On the one hand, while the whole city yearns for water, on the other hand, some of the people of the city itself were shown wasting water. During this period, the water administration has taken strict action against these people and a substantial fine has also been collected from them.
For the last month, people in Bengaluru have to think about even drinking water. The shortage of water has increased so much here that people are working from home and going to distant centers to save water use at home. The situation is such that people here eat food in disposable plates and spoons. According to local people, 2,600 million liters of water are needed here every day. While the water coming from the tanker is very less.
After increasing water scarcity in the city, the Water Board was advised to use water properly. In addition, a warning was also given of a fine for those who waste water. But on the occasion of Holi on March 25, this guide was seen to be ignored. Here, on the occasion of Holi, Holi was played at Atta Chikkanayakanahalli Apartment in violation of the order. Despite the scarcity of water, the people of this flat did a rain dance and a swim dance. Here people had wasted a lot of water while playing Holi.

fine imposed
As soon as Jal Mandal got information about this, the noise was tightened against these people. A fine of Rs 1 lakh 10 thousand has been collected from people who waste water extensively on Holi day. Meanwhile, people from other apartments claim that despite knowing about the water shortage in Atta Chikkanayakanahalli Apartment, people did rain dance and swimming dance by paying money to the owner of the apartment and the owner of the resort. At the moment, this fine has been imposed on around 22 families here on Holi. Moreover, it was also said that a fine of Rs 500 will be levied on each person for wasting water in future. This fine has been collected by issuing receipts to these people.
According to a water supply official, these restrictions have been implemented in the city from Friday. A helpline number has also been announced by Jal Mandal to complain about people wasting water. Water prices are fixed in the city so that water tankers are not overcharged in times of crisis.
