Belagavi district in-charge Secretary Anjum Parvez has asked officials to ensure that no villages, towns or habitations suffer from drinking water scarcity in the coming months.
He asked officials to prepare a list of habitations that can suffer water scarcity, based on past history and complaints from the public.
“Officials are empowered by law to take over wells, borewells and other private water sources to supply water to the public. This provision should be made use of,” he said.
