BWSSB — No water for the past 8 months

Address: Bangalore, Karnataka

Dear Sir/Madam,

We the residents of HBR Layout 3rd Block are facing acute water shortage problems since February 2010, i.e. as soon as the new counsellor, Mr.Govindaraju, was elected. Previously, we used to get water every alternate day, i.e. Monday, Wednesday and Friday. But after February, we are getting water, at a very low force, only for 20 minutes once in every 2 weeks (which is 40 minutes of water in a month!!). Due to these problems, we are forced to purchase water every week from the local water tanker for Rs.500 per week. After we purchase water from the water tanker, we get water the next day. We suspect that there could be an illegal alliance between the counsellor and the water tanker authorities.

We have approached the counsellor and pleaded to him to supply water in our area. But he has turned a deaf ear to all our concerns. The funniest part is that, HBR Layout 2nd block and 4th block do not have this water shortage problem, but we residents of HBR Layout 3rd block are facing water shortage problems.

All the residents of HBR layout 3rd block have planned to approach TV9 News channel to telecast our problems. But before we do so, I thought it would be better to put a word to you. Please advise on what has to be done in this regard.

Thank you.
