Vijayapura: A young man named Satish Chandrasekhara Kadani from Teggihalli village, climbed a 250-foot BSNL tower at Basaveshwara Circle of India town to demand for drinking water. His action was a protest demanding a resolution to the longstanding drinking water problem in his village.

Despite numerous complaints to the PDO and Taluk officials, the village has been facing water scarcity for several days without any concrete action being taken. The young man's climb and subsequent sit-in were aimed at drawing attention to the pressing issue.

Authorities were alerted to the situation, and the fire department successfully conducted an operation to bring the young man safely down from the tower.
