Water woes

These water tankers are a common sight in the suburbs of Mumbai where the housing and population is growing faster than the infrastructure leading to severe water shortages. It is then that these tankers which are the most sought after for a partial solution to the problem. It has become such an established business now that there are rumours of a 'water tanker mafia' which tries its best to ensure that there is a perennial water shortage by ensuring that the laying of new water pipelines are delayed as much as possible. Obviously all this is done with the assistance of local politicians who get fattened at the expense of the common man.
