Bengaluru
The acute water shortage in the city might not pose any immediate threat to the three IPL first-leg matches to be played here, as KSCA, the host association, is confident of meeting the demand for water from the in-house sewage treatment plant.
Bengaluru is reeling under a severe water crisis, the worst in the last four decades, and there have been calls from several quarters to shift the IPL games, beginning on March 25, out of the city.
We are facing no crisis at the moment that is. We have received the state government pertaining to water usage and we (the KSCA office-bearers) are in constant meetings about following the guidelines, Shubendu Ghosh, the CEO of Karnataka State Cricket Association, told sources.
