* winter is over, water issue is up

It did not take long. As soon as the winter was over, the water crisis started all over again in IISc. It seems that the authorities did not learn anything from last year. Have a look at this post by shironaam which explains the urgent matter of the water issue. It is almost a ruling fact that E-Block and F-Block lacks the luxury of running water most of the times. Even the 2. block of the New Hostel Complex did not have any water from the day before yesterday (11AM) till very late in the night (3AM next morning). The water purifier are almost all broken and out of order. The drain of many sinks is simply missing. So if you spit your toothpaste into the sink, it will drop directly and unfiltered onto your feet.
The condescending behavior the administration keeps showing towards the students, must come to an end. In the end it was not the work of the employees nor staff to make this institute the one that is so famous and supposed to be one of the best in South Asia. Currently I think that this institute does not deserve this title at all and I can only warn prospective students to think twice to come here. Once the shine of the name “IISc” is worn off, everybody will see the naked truth.
