chowrangi Surat City in India is experiencing severe water shortage. Residents of the said city protested against a municipal corporation for not providing enough water tankers. They carried empty pots on their heads and raised slogans against the corporation. According to one of the residents, Kamala Patel, “We call for the tanker again and again but they always give excuses that they will come as soon as possible. We don’t even have water to drink so how can we make our food.” Another resident Anita Pat says, “Whenever the tanker comes 4,000-5,000 people come to take water. We don’t get even get a basic supply of water. You only tell us how to cook our food.” Accordin to them the problem still remains, even though they have raised the issue with officials several times. The mayor of Surat City claims that there is no water shortage. Ranjit Gilitwala, Surat City Mayor said, “I am not agreeing with this fact that there is an acute water shortage and people are not getting water. If there is a water shortage in three or four areas, that doesn’t mean there is a water shortage in the whole city.” Water crises are not new to Indians as many parts of the country experience water shortages. The months of May and June are usually the hottest in the country, with temperatures often rising above 110 degrees Fahrenheit in many places.
