In Jaipur's walled city, rising temperatures have exacerbated water scarcity, prompting residents to depend on private tankers and neighbors for their daily needs. Localities such as Badanpura, Ramganj, and Chowkri Topkhana Desh report erratic water supply, with tap water availability dropping from around 45 minutes to as little as 10 minutes. This situation has led families to spend approximately ₹500 on private water tankers, which are insufficient to meet the demands of densely populated areas. Mohammad Zakir, a resident, expressed frustration over the unpredictable supply timings, stating that water can come at any hour but lasts only a few minutes. Former councillor Akhtar Hussain noted that one tanker cannot serve an entire neighborhood, especially during the festive season when demand peaks. Complaints have been rising since late April, with residents like Nidhi Singh noting that despite regular reports to officials, little has changed on the ground. The community is now resorting to sharing water, highlighting the severity of the crisis.
