As summer conditions continue to put pressure on water resources across many parts of Karnataka, several towns and villages are grappling with drinking water shortages. In Yelburga town of Koppal district, residents of a locality have been facing a severe water crisis for the past few days due to technical issues in the public water supply system. Amid these difficulties, a local youth has stepped forward with a remarkable act of community service, earning widespread appreciation from residents.
Free Water Supply for Residents
For the past three to four days, residents of Ward No. 12 on the outskirts of Yelburga town have been struggling with an inadequate water supply. A malfunctioning motor and pipeline-related issues have disrupted water distribution, while delays in repairs have further worsened the situation, causing considerable inconvenience to households in the area.
Recognising the difficulties faced by residents, Shivakumar Myageri, a resident of the same ward, took the initiative to help. He began supplying water free of cost from his private borewell to families living in Ashraya Colony.
