Coimbatore: Amid escalating drought conditions and a severe shortage of water resources, Coimbatore has seen a rise in the number of unauthorized borewell installations across the district. The installations have increased significantly over the past few days due to the intense heatwave affecting the region, leading to heightened water scarcity.

Following these reports, the Department has issued a strict directive stating that all such unauthorized borewells will be removed immediately if they are found. This move comes as a measure to prevent the depletion of groundwater and manage the water resources more sustainably.
This action underscores the government's effort to regulate water usage and ensure availability for all amidst ongoing environmental challenges. Residents are urged to report unauthorized water extraction activities to authorities to help maintain groundwater levels and avoid further depletion.
