PM Narendra Modi has pledged full support to Karnataka CM D.K. Shivakumar for any state effort on water security. In a five-page letter ahead of Karnataka Rajyotsava, he urged making water conservation a top priority, calling drought a serious challenge, especially in northern Karnataka.
He suggested reviving water bodies, harvesting rainwater and managing water responsibly, and also pointed to city cleanliness and scientific waste management as areas needing attention. The Chief Minister's Office released the letter to the press on Thursday.
