A bizarre incident has come forth where an employee was seen brushing his teeth in his office’s washroom. The man took the action to paint a picture of struggles that residents of Bengaluru have been facing due to water scarcity in the city. Rishabh Srivastava shared a post on X, formerly Twitter, which is gaining attention.
The post showed Srivastava in his office bathroom holding a toothbrush, saying, “Peak Bengaluru Moment! Had to head to the office at 10 am because there’s no water at home,” the caption reads, capturing the daily struggles many face. The post has sparked conversation, highlighting the severity of the water situation in Bengaluru.
Officials are urging people to use water wisely as the crisis persists. The Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB) chairperson Ram Prashant Manohar noted, “Most complaints are from the southeast of the city. We’re advising people to be mindful of water usage.”
In mid-March, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah had admitted the seriousness of the situation. He said Bengaluru faces a shortage of 500 million liters of water per day. This stark figure underscores the challenges for authorities and residents in managing the city’s water supply.
While Srivastava’s post adds a humorous touch, it underscores a pressing issue and the need for sustainable solutions to Bengaluru’s water crisis.
Amid this situation, the BWSSB announced a water supply cut for two days. This comes after the civic body decided to extend a scheduled shutdown. The shutdown of Kaveri water supply units was initially scheduled for June 4. However, it was rescheduled due to unforeseen circumstances, now set for June 6.
