Chikkamagaluru TP warns people lifting water from public sources for agriculture, commercial purposes of legal action

The Hindu  

Chikkamagaluru taluk panchayat has warned people who have been lifting water from waterbodies for agriculture and commercial purposes of legal action. The taluk panchayat has taken this decision as people in many villages have been facing shortages of drinking water due to drought. “It has come to the notice of the taluk administration that many people have been lifting water from lakes, tanks, streams, rivers, open wells and government borewells, illegally for agriculture and commercial purposes. The taluk panchayat has also set up a helpline 08262-228181 to call up and register complaints regarding drinking water supply, if any.
