Shimla faces severe water crisis as supply drops by 50%

Shimla, the capital of Himachal Pradesh, is grappling with a severe water crisis, with supply dropping by nearly 50% in recent days. Residents are experiencing acute shortages, leading to long queues for water and disruptions in daily life. The crisis is attributed to reduced water levels in the city's main sources following a dry winter and insufficient rainfall. Authorities are implementing rationing measures and urging citizens to conserve water.
