Stalin joins DMK protest against water shortage

June 24, 2019 11:11

Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam president MK Stalin joins a protest in Chepak, against the Tamil Nadu government over acute water crisis in the city.

Chennai, India's fourth largest city, needs about 800 million litres of water daily, but the public water board has been able to supply 525 million litres.

The city has faced two consecutive monsoon failures following one of the biggest floods in southern India in 2015.

The city's four major sources of water are running dry and the government faces public ire for not ensuring alternative arrangements. The state government also received flak after it reportedly turned down an offer from Kerala on Thursday to supply water to Chennai's residents.
