Why Bengaluru’s apartment complexes would rather rely on the “tanker mafia” than subsidised water
Mutasim Khan, an investigative reporter who exposed Bengaluru’s water crisis and the tanker economy, tells the story. He walks through how private tankers grew, why a government app flopped, and why apartments trust paid tankers over subsidised supply. He also uncovers conflicts where officials rented the same tankers they criticised and outlines community pushback and legal fights.
