Bengaluru is in the grip of an acute water shortage, that has disrupted normal life beyond ways that one could imagine. The disruption of the water supply has left houses, apartments, and residential societies high and dry.
People have been left with no water to drink, cook, or in some cases use the washroom and some are taking desperate measures.
"It has been more than a month since we received a regular round-the-clock supply of water in our flat in Prestige Falcon City. Now the situation is beyond the limits of what can be called inhabitable," a post on Reddit said.
According to the post, there is no water during the daytime, when they do get it during the night it is muddy and unfit for bathing.?
"The residents association has called for the use of wet wipes and disposable cutlery for washing and eating. Most of the tenants have vacated while others have moved to temporary accommodation," the post said.
"You get to smell the stink of unflushed human excreta in toilet bowls from far away. It's not uncommon to see a line of residents going to the nearby Forum Mall to do their business," it added.
According to the post, people have been left with no choice but to order food from outside as the utensils are not cleaned.?
"Some people are going to gyms along with a pair of clothes and towel to bath and come back. Too much frustration and pain to bear when you are paying EMI for 1cr+ of housing loan," the post said.
The Reddit user concluded by urging people to" Never buy a flat in Bangalore which is dependent on tanker water forever. It's better to live in a rented home with peace of mind rather than suffer like this."
