Lack of rainfall has affected city borewells and a sharp drop in\u00a0water levels in the Cauvery River.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>M Chinnaswamy Stadium has already hosted three IPL 2024 matches and has reportedly utilized\u00a075,000 litres of treated water so far. With four more games to follow, the NGT is keeping a close eye on Bengaluru&#8217;s\u00a0water supply.<\/p>\n<p>The NGT has also asked\u00a0Bengaluru Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB) and Karnataka State Pollution Control Board (KSPCB) to submit details of the quantity and source of water used for the IPL games by May 2.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>However, the remaining IPL games in Bengaluru\u00a0are likely to go ahead as planned according to\u00a0Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) CEO Shubendu Ghosh who confirmed that the stadium is complying with the NGT forms.    <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are studying the notice, and as such the stadium complies with the NGT norms,&#8221; Shubendu Ghosh\u00a0said. &#8220;So, we are confident of going ahead with the matches.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the KSCA has taken permission to use the treated water from the\u00a0Bengaluru Water Supply and Sewerage Board and is not using\u00a0groundwater or potable water to water the pitches during the IPL 2024 season. The Karnataka government has banned the\u00a0use of potable water for gardening.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async>\nfunction loadFacebookScript(){\n!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\nn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;\nn.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\nt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window,\ndocument,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', '529056027274737');\nfbq('track', 'PageView');\n}\nwindow.addEventListener('load', (event) => {\n\tsetTimeout(function(){\n        loadFacebookScript();\n\t}, 5000);\n});\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatvnews.com\/sports\/cricket\/why-are-ipl-matches-in-bengaluru-under-national-green-tribunal-scanner-rcb-royal-challengers-bengaluru-water-crisis-2024-04-05-924886\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Image Source : AP RCB players against PBKS at M Chinnaswamy Stadium on March 25, 2024 Royal Challengers Bengaluru&#8217;s home games at M Chinnaswamy Stadium are under the scanner of the\u00a0National Green Tribunal (NGT).
