Water Supply

So near and yet so far is the story of water for residential and commercial complexes in the fast developing region of outer Whitefield, between K R Puram and Hoskote.

Bangaloreans are going to see their water supply cut heavily as a result of capped supply, massive leakages, and non-stop growth in demand. On Sunday, politicians made all the right noises.
