Bangarpet in throes of water scarcity [1]

The taluk, dependent on rains for its water requirements, is under the throes of acture water scarcity this year.

With the groundwater table hitting the nadir, more than 20 borewells sunk by Town Municipal Council have dried up. It has become difficult to strike water even if one digs to a depth of 1,000 feet.
