MS Dhoni driven into controversy due to water crisis

The acute water crisis in most parts of the country seems to have created yet another problem after India’s limited over skipper MS Dhoni was dragged into a controversy due to his swimming pool.

It is alleged that in spite of huge water crisis in MS Dhoni ’s native place Ranchi, 15,000 litres of water is being used to fill up the swimming pool of his ancestral home every day. The news has hit headlines after Bombay High Court forced the BCCI to shift matches from Maharashtra to huge water scarcity.

Jharkhand Revenue Minister Amar Kumar Bauri complained about MS Dhoni’s swimming pool wasting water whereas the colonies of Harmu Road, where Dhoni’s house is situated in Ranchi, are suffering from a water crisis. People have also alleged that even though Dhoni rarely visits Ranchi, the swimming pool at his ancestral home in Ranchi is always remains filled with water.

People have questioned that why no arrangement of water for 5000 people of Yamunanagar could be made while 15,000 litres every day is poured into the swimming pool at Dhoni’s Ranchi located home.

Meanwhile, a close aide of Dhoni in Ranchi has refuted these claims. He said that the swimming pool is not ‘always’ filled with water. The pool is filled only when MS Dhoni is in town and nobody else’s water share is cut for the same.

This is the second controversy MS Dhoni has been embroiled into in the past couple of weeks. Recently, Dhoni resigned as the brand ambassador of Amrapali housing project after stakeholders carried out a social media protest objecting irregularity in the completion of pending construction works.
