The areas newly brought under the Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike are bearing the brunt of acute water scarcity in the City.

With no sign of rain and borewells drying up, these areas on the periphery of the City are dependent on water tankers to meet the daily requirement. The corporators from Byatarayanapura, Mahadevapura and KR Puram constituencies, during a meeting with the chairperson of Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board on Tuesday aired their concerns over the grave situation in their wards.
