Water tankers drew queues of residents carrying water containers, fighting to get a fill to carry out their daily chores.
With peak summer season fast approaching, water woes in the Indian capital could get much worse. In major centres such as India’s ‘Silicon Valley’ Bengaluru, home to firms like Google, opens new tab, water supply is already being curtailed.
