All updates about Bengaluru water shortage:
According to First Post, Bengalurus water crisis is getting worse as working professionals from Indias IT powerhouse are pushing for mandatory work-from-home policies until the citys water issue is overcome, allowing them to return to their hometowns.
According to News 18, Dry Days in Bengaluru: Dry Monkeys Scour Residential Complexes for Water, BBMP Issues Dos and Donts.
Not only does Bengaluru have thirsty monkeys, but it also has them. Animals are turning to peoples houses and high-rise buildings for safety, shelter, and food as summer temperatures climb and the lack of water deepens.
Residents have been complaining to the citys civic body, the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP), on a regular basis about monkeys breaking into their homes in quest of food and drink, stealing meals from parents and children, and even attacking them.
“We have taken away the habitat of the monkeys to build such apartments and expect them to go elsewhere. They are accustomed to the trees, fruits and vegetables available around and come to consume it. We have deprived them of their natural habitat, compelling them to forcibly enter homes as they are hungry," the senior official explained. WHAT SHOULD RESIDENTS DO?
BLG Swamy, Deputy Conservator of Forests at BBMP, said the civic body receives three to four complaints on the helpline every week.
Swamy explained that this department receives complaints from residents, including instances of monkeys entering homes and causing trouble. People are found feeding monkeys and giving them water from their homes, but this is done irregularly and unscientifically, the official pointed out.
