Sir: This is to bring into your notice the pathetic state of water tankers in our city. It is being observed on a daily basis that vehicles which supply water always leak and waste an enormous amount of water during transit.

There are many leaks in the tankers and often litres of water is wasted on the way cleaning roads which are actually meant to drench the thirst of a large number of people. We really fail to understand why water is allowed to get wasted like this when the companies can actually save it by repairing leaked holes. I strongly feel that the government should take an urgent action and stop water wastage which is becoming a major problem.

Heavy fines should be imposed on drivers/companies, which carry water in such leaking tankers. Also, the general public should be made aware of the amount of water that is getting wasted so that even they can contribute to whatever way they can in handling these drivers. I suggest that the traffic police should impound such vehicles, which cause wastage of water on the roads.
