At a time when water is a precious commodity, thanks to the soaring temperatures, gallons of water is being wasted daily atop Chamundi Hill. Some of the devotees are using drinking water to take bath before entering the temple premises. Following reports in a section of media that there is no drinking water facility atop the Hill, Star of Mysore did a reality check yesterday only to find this sheer wastage. Surprisingly, there was no one to prevent water being wasted. On an average more than 50 lakh people visit the Chamundi Hill every year and there are a couple of drinking water projects (both private and public) atop the Hill. Among the government-owned are the facility provided under MP grants and the facility near the Nirmala Saulabhya constructed and maintained by Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) under its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative.
