Oxfam India, a non-governmental organisation representing the national-level water campaign -- Jal Chetna Yatra -- has called on any new dispensation that may form the new government at the Centre to end the trend of privatisation of ownership of water and include water literacy in its policy. Addressing media persons, Oxfam vice president Rajendra Singh said that negligence and wrong policies on the part of the Government would lead to depletion of ground water and destruction of potable water bodies, a trend very much evident in case of the Arkavathi river in the Garden City of Bangalore itself.
