Irregular water supply in the twin cities, especially after the maintenance of the water supply network was handed over to a private firm, led to a heated discussion at a meeting on the issue chaired by newly elected Mayor Iresh Anchatageri in Dharwad.
In the meeting held here recently in the presence of Municipal Commissioner B. Gopalkrishna, various officials and corporation council members, cutting across party lines, raised questions over the issue of handling of water supply.
Following a series of complaints, Mr. Anchatageri directed the officials to identify borewells in twin cities that have gone defunct and repair them in a week. He also asked the officials to shun lethargy and address public grievances immediately by forming requisite groups on social media to ensure coordination between various departments.
