• BWSSB identifies 448 water-stressed micro-pockets in Bengaluru, mostly in north and east, for Summer 2026.
• A Rs 10.1 crore summer preparedness plan is launched to prevent acute water shortages.
• Plans include deploying 1,260 mini water tanks, 117 BWSSB tankers, and 104 private tankers on standby.

• Despite BWSSB's optimism, some areas like VV Puram and Frazer Town still face irregular supply and rely on private tankers.
