Tamil film superstar Rajinikanth Saturday said Rain Water Harvesting (RWH) should be taken up on a war-footing to address the acute water crisis in the state. The 69-year-old actor was speaking to reporters in Chennai on his arrival from Mumbai, where he was shooting for his film ’Durbar.’

“As of now, immediate measures that need to be taken is saving rainwater. It should be on a war-footing mode. Then all water bodies, including lakes and ponds need to be desilted ahead of the monsoon season”, he said to a query on the water crisis prevailing in Tamil Nadu.
