As Bengaluru Reels Under Water Crisis, Megastar Chiranjeevi Shares Tips To Tackle It

Megastar Chiranjeevi, a titan of South Indian cinema renowned for his commanding presence on screen, often lends his voice to address public issues. With Bengaluru grappling with a severe water scarcity problem, the actor took to his social media platforms to propose a solution.

Reports indicate that Bengaluru, Karnataka, is currently in the throes of a dire water crisis exacerbated by soaring temperatures, creating drought-like conditions across the state. In response to the emergency, Megastar Chiranjeevi shared his insights on water conservation via his official X handle, highlighting the critical need for action to mitigate the crisis and offering practical tips.

In a comprehensive tweet, the actor emphasised the urgency of conserving water, particularly in light of the situation in Bengaluru. He detailed the water conservation measures implemented at his farmhouse in Bengaluru, showing their effectiveness in addressing similar challenges elsewhere.

According to his tweet, strategically positioned recharge wells, drilled to depths of 20-36 feet, are installed throughout his property. These wells feature slopes designed to facilitate direct surface water flow into them and are equipped with a filter system to optimise water retention. Chiranjeevi emphasised the superiority of recharge wells over recharge pits, citing their capacity for storing larger volumes of water.

Furthermore, the actor disclosed his adoption of permaculture principles, which contribute to environmental rejuvenation and self-sufficiency. He elaborated on the use of mulching techniques involving dead leaves and wood chips, along with appropriate ground cover in gardens, to minimise soil evaporation and conserve water effectively.

Concluding his message, Chiranjeevi advocated for the adoption of similar measures to enhance rainwater harvesting and promote the construction of eco-friendly structures. Accompanying the tweet were images illustrating the recharge wells, providing visual context for his recommendations.

Amidst his efforts in addressing societal issues, Chiranjeevi is set to grace the silver screen once again in the upcoming film “Vishwambhara,” slated for release in 2025. Directed by Mallidi Vassishta and produced under the banner of UV Creations, the film promises to showcase the actor’s enduring charisma and talent.
