Based on the current demand assessment conducted by the corporation, nearly 12 million liters of treated water would be supplied to the industries per day.
"Once approved, the plant will be completed in 18 months from the date of commencement of work. The existing tanks could be utilized to store 10 million litres of treated water from the plant per day. We are planning to set up tanks with a capacity of one to three lakh litres across all 100 wards and the same would be connected to the plant through a dedicated pipeline.
From these tanks, water could be filled into tankers and supplied.
All the required infrastructure has to be built alongside," the corporation commissioner said.
Commenting on the usage of treated water, Sivaguru Prabakaran noted that except for drinking purposes, the water was advisable for other activities, including major construction works, industrial purposes, gardening and agriculture.

Consumer commission fines photographers for deficient wedding services
Koppal: The District Consumer Redressal Commission has ruled in favour of a couple who lodged a complaint against photographers for failing to provide promised wedding services. The commission has ordered the photographers to pay compensation and costs for the deficient service. According to consumer complaint No. 72/2024, Lekhana and Arpan from Koppal, hired Roshan Christopher and Emmanuel of Wedhoods Woollex, BTM Layout, Bengaluru, to provide photography and videography services for their pre-and post-wedding ceremonies. A contract was signed for Rs 1.2 lakh to cover the wedding ceremonies in Sakleshpur and Chikkamagaluru from Nov 28 to Nov 30, 2022, with Rs 1 lakh paid through UPI transactions. However, the couple later approached the consumer commission, alleging that the services provided by the company failed to meet the agreed terms. The commission, chaired by GE Saubhagyalakshmi and member Raju N Maitri, directed the photographers to pay Rs 25,000 as compensation to the complainants, along with interest at 6% per annum from the date of the complaint until the amount was paid. Additionally, Rs 5,000 was ordered to cover complaint expenses. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).

I won't go to jail by denotifying land for Peripheral Ring Road-2 project in Bengaluru: DK Shivakumar
Bengaluru: Ruling out denotification of land notified for Peripheral Ring Road-2 (PRR-2) project, the govt Thursday said the 52-km stretch connecting Hosur Road with Mysuru Road will be implemented. The govt issued a primary notification for 2,716 acres of land in 2005-06, of which a final notification was issued for executing the Major Arterial Road (MAR) between Magadi Road and Mysuru Road, which forms part of PRR-2 alignment. The MAR stretch of over 10.7km is in advanced stages of completion. Replying to a question raised by BJP MLC HS Gopinath in the legislative council, deputy chief minister DK Shivakumar said there is no question of denotifying the land and the project will be implemented.

He asked whether the govt would demolish over 10,000 houses to build the road. The BDA recently announced the formation of six layouts along the alignment of PRR-2. Shivakumar said, "Though the primary notification was issued in 2005-06, successive govts did not issue a final notification for acquisition of land nor sanctioned the plan. I am not ready to denotify the land and go to jail. This is also the govt's stand." Shivakumar said wherever residential structures have come up along the alignment, flyovers will be built to avoid land acquisition.

Inferior quality headphones not replaced, forum asks e-tailer to pay consumer Rs31k
Ghaziabad: Over a year after a Loni resident felt at the receiving end of a "faulty delivery" from an e-commerce platform, he has got relief from the consumer forum. District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (DCDRC) has directed Amazon to collect the product from Sankalp Dhama and refund Rs 26,989, which was taken in advance for a premium headphone. Dhama had filed the complaint in June 2024, a month after the delivery of the product. A bench of DCDRC, comprising president Praveen Kumar Jain and members Shailja Sachan and RP Singh, on July 17 also directed the company to pay compensation of Rs 5,000 for mental agony and litigation costs within a period of 45 days from the date of the order. Failing this, an interest at 6% on the outstanding amount until the last date of payment must be paid.

While reviewing the documents filed by the applicant, the commission observed that the e-commerce company acknowledged the complaint of faulty delivery through an email but did not replace the headphone or return the cost taken. "Under these circumstances, we conclude that Amazon must return the money and take back the headphone delivered to the customer. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Pierce Brosnan's Wife Lost 120 Pounds - This Is Her Now Undo Since they are found guilty of deficiency in service by delaying the process, they also must pay compensation of Rs 5,000," the commission ruled.

"I got a booking confirmation the next day and on the evening of May 14, the delivery boy brought the product to my address," Dhama told the commission. He said that when he opened the packet, it contained a JBL Quantum 100 headphone, which is not only cheaper but also not equipped with the necessary functionalities that he was looking for.
