Shimla: Faced with water shortage, the Shimla Municipal Corporation has imposed water rationing in the city. Now water would be made available to households every alternate day for an hour, Corporation Mayor Narendra Kataria said on Sunday.
He said rationing had been ordered in view of shortage of water in the town.
Against a requirement of 40 million litre per day (mld) for a population of 1.5 lakh in the hill station, current water supply is about 28 mld, he added.
Kataria said that rationing would continue till water from Giri water scheme is received. The scheme was to be made operational on October 2 last year but could not be launched so far, he said, expressing hope that the scheme would start from April 15 now.
Shimla would get an additional 20 mld water from the Giri water scheme which would fill the shortage .
