The KMC deployed tankers to supply water in affected areas
Leader of Opposition in the KMC Rajesh Latkar said, “Water supply was shut for the last two days due to the repair works undertaken by the water supply department. Usha Jadhav, a resident from Mangalwar Peth, said, “Last year, we had to carry out a rasta-roko protest on the second day of Ganapati festival due to water cuts.
A few areas may receive supply at low pressure,” the official said. Residents are upset with the KMC for undertaking repair works ahead of Ganeshotsav. This year, too, the KMC has started water cuts ahead of the festive season. “Maximum parts of the city will receive smooth water supply from Friday noon.
On Thursday, we visited the repair site and directed for speedy completion of the work as we do not want inconvenience for the residents citizens in the festive period. An official from the KMC’s water supply department claimed that the repair works will be completed late on Thursday.
