BHOPAL: The unbearable heat of May has extended into June with Bhopalis searching the skies for a trace of clouds. The intense heat was excarbated by the water crisis and unscheduled power cuts in the state capital.
"It was a week when there was no water supply, and neither did the administration arrange for an alternative. The BMC had informed that there would be no water supply from May 12 for three days due to the construction work of new Kolar pipline, but it took about six days for water supply to resume. I tried all the numbers i could find for a water tanker, but nobody picked up the phone except chief engineer, water works at BMC, Mr Pawar. He assured me help but he too, couldn't arrange a tanker," said Anil Sanghi, a resident of E-6, Arera Colony.
