Earlier, the High Court had reprimanded MCA for the many litres of water it will use to prepare pitches for the world's richest cricket tournament at a time when large parts of the state are reeling under drought.
"How can you waste water like this? Are people more important or IPL? How can you be so careless," the court said while hearing a petition, and also, "This is criminal wastage. You know the situation in Maharashtra."
The MCA, in their defence, argued that it purchases water for its use and also that this water is non-potable or water you cannot drink.
The ninth edition of the cash-rich Twenty20 league is set to begin from April 9 with the first match to be played in Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium while the opening ceremony will be held on April 8.
A total of 20 matches will be played in Mumbai, Pune and Nagpur. The final is also scheduled to be held at the Wankhede Stadium on May 29. The HC has now asked the government to inform them what they propose to do and the steps it plans to take in such a situation.
