Vijayapura canal: 70 to 80 unauthorized water taps discovered
Authorities in Karnataka have uncovered between 70 and 80 illicit water connections situated near the Malaghan West Canal in Vijayapura. These points were reportedly siphoning off water, which caused shortages for farmers located at the end of the canal. Following complaints from local growers regarding the lack of water, officials have started plugging these illegal outlets. Furthermore, legal proceedings are underway against the individuals involved.
