Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad Enforce Water Restrictions and Crackdown on Unauthorized Constructions
Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad authorities are implementing strict water conservation measures amid drought concerns and deficient rainfall.

Meanwhile, Pimpri-Chinchwad officials warn corporators against obstructing demolition of unauthorized structures, linking such actions to water and electricity supply restrictions.
