As the water crisis is worsening in Bengaluru, a private school located in Gottigere along Bannerghatta Road has postponed an event owing to a shortage of water.
The school, which has a student strength of 70, has put off a science exhibition to which the parents were also invited. The alternative school has kindergarten to class 12. The event is now tentatively rescheduled for Sunday. However, the fate of the programme depends on the supply by the water tanker.
Ramani S. (name changed), a teacher from the school talking to The Hindu, said the pupils designed science models, and on Tuesday till afternoon, they rehearsed in full swing to display their talents not just to their parents but to the guests invited. But in the afternoon, the management realised that there was not enough water to conduct the event. The pump failed to fill the water to the tanker as the borewell had dried up.
