INDIA Team Latestly|

Tamil Nadu Water Crisis: Tamil Nadu has been facing severe water crisis. The situation is getting worse day by day. Water tokens are being issued to the residents facing acute water crisis in Chennai’s Royapettah area, to avail water supply through water tankers. Fishes were found dead on the periphery of the dried up Selva Chinthamani lake caused by the severe heat wave in Tamil Nadu’s Chinthamani Lake. Scorching heat and delayed monsoon have crippled parts of Tamil Nadu with acute water crisis. Most of the water reservoirs have reached the lowest level and locals are struggling to meet their water demands. Various hotels and restaurants in the city have stopped offering meals at noon due to water shortage.
