Karnataka is working on a war footing to address the crippling water crisis in Bengaluru, Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar said, adding that over 3,000 borewells in the city have dried up, including the one at his home. "All the borewells are dry, including the one at my house," the Deputy Chief Minister told reporters. The state is working round the clock to identify all the points where water is available, he assured. "I am looking into this very, very, very seriously. I have had a meeting with all the officials. We are taking over all the tanks and are identifying the points where all water is available. Two hundred and seventeen tunnels have been tried. More than 3,000 borewells have dried up in Bangalore. Whatever water is coming from the Cauvery is coming..." he said.
