Major Leak Detected in Mumbai-III Water Pipeline Near Thane; Repairs Underway
A major leak has been detected in the 3,000 mm diameter Mumbai-III water pipeline near Teen Haath Naka in Thane, located about 3 to 4 meters underground along the Eastern Express Highway. Municipal authorities, including the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation, have launched emergency repair operations to locate and fix the leak. Due to the pipeline's depth and protective casing, repairs are technically challenging and expected to take time. Officials warn the leak may affect Mumbai's water supply and urge citizens to use water judiciously.
