Reportedly Oscar winning Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio, known for his environmental activism, has drawn attention to the ongoing water crisis in Chennai. Meanwhile DiCaprio took to Instagram to re-share a photograph of a dry well which had been posted by BBC News.
Furthermore the post read, “Only rain can save Chennai from this situation and a well, completely empty, and a city without water. The southern Indian city of Chennai is in crisis, after the four main water reservoirs ran dry." Reportedly "The acute water shortage has forced the city to scramble for urgent solutions and residents have to stand in line for hours to get water from government tankers. As the water levels depleted, hotels and restaurants started to shut temporarily, and the air con was turned off in the city's metro.”
Moreover DiCaprio, who works extensively as a climate champion, had visited india in 2015 to film a segment for his 2016 documentary film, Beyond the Flood. Perhaps he had also visited the Taj Mahal during his trip.
