Demand for water tankers in Kolkata hit a high point on Sunday, driven by a combination of festival preparations and infrastructure issues. Residents across the city sought water for various purposes, including filling artificial ponds and cleaning roads, as they prepared for the Chhath Puja.
The spike in demand occurred while parts of north Kolkata continued to face water supply challenges. These areas are still dealing with the lingering effects of a significant leak in a major water pipeline that took place last week, exacerbating the need for alternative water sources during the busy period.
