Nagpur: Days after a pipeline repair shutdown stretched beyond its deadline, leaving several localities without water for over 60 hours, 323 localities across Nagpur are set to face another 24-hour disruption from Oct 13.
The work involves repairing a leak in the 1,400mm-diameter pipeline supplying water through the Pench-4 feeder near Mankapur Square, according to an NMC-OCW announcement. The shutdown will cover eight command areas, beginning at 6 am on Oct 13 and continuing until 6 am on Oct 14. The prolonged disruption raised questions over NMC’s monitoring of the repair work and communication with residents. The civic administration is now preparing for another interruption to complete the pending repairs. Affected areas: Nara, Nari, Jaripatka, Nalanda Nagar, Balaji Nagar, Manewada, Dhantoli, Congress Nagar, Rahate Colony, Deo Nagar, Surendra Nagar, Narendra Nagar, Omkar Nagar, Jogi Nagar, Rameshwari, Sakkardara, New Subhedar Layout and Hudkeshwar, along with adjoining residential layouts and colonies.
