Bengaluru: Ramprasat Manohar V, who was given the concurrent charge as the chairman of the Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB), has now been given complete charge of the water board.

Regularise illegal water connections: BWSSB chief 

Manohar on Wednesday asked citizens to regularise their unauthorised water supply or sewerage connections. 

Speaking at an event organised by BWSSB contractors to pay tribute to Cauvery River, Manohar requested contractors and plumbers to join hands with the board in following water conservation methods such as installation of aerators and taps. 

"Cauvery water is being pumped to Bengaluru from as far as 100 km. It is our responsibility to use water cautiously and prevent any loss,” Manohar said.
