Mumbai BMC Maintains 10% Water Cut Amid Reservoir and Rainfall Concerns
Mumbai's Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has maintained the 10% water cut despite reservoirs being nearly full, citing uncertain rainfall forecasts and the need to preserve water stocks. Officials, led by Additional Municipal Commissioner Abhijit Bangar, are conducting ground inspections to identify and address local water supply issues, focusing on permanent solutions and equitable distribution. The BMC plans to reconsider lifting restrictions once reservoir levels reach 100% by September 30, while coordinating with local representatives to manage complaints effectively.
