While the Financial Capital struggles with scotching heat, residents of Bandra, Dharavi and Mahim will further face a cut in water supply on April 18-19 due to repair works, announced BMC. Once the work is completed, residents of Dharavi will experience relief, particularly during the summer months.
From 10 am on April 18 till 4 pm on April 19, efforts to connect Upper Vaitarna’s main water channel to the one at Dharavi Navrang Compound will be undertaken. This will cause a 100% cut in areas such as the Bandra Terminus, Dharavi Loop Marg, Naik Nagar and Prem Nagar. Additionally, specific sections of Dharavi, including Ganesh Mandir Marg, Dilip Kadam Marg and Mahim Phatak Marg, will face the same fate during the evening hours of April 18.
Similarly, Sion-Mahim Link Road, Mahatma Gandhi Marg, Sant Kakkaya Marg, AKG Nagar, and MP Nagar, all under G North Division, will experience a 25% cut in the morning hours of April 18.
BMC Water Engineer Purushottam Malwade said, “Residents of Shahu Nagar, Dharavi are currently facing water supply issues, prompting us to take action. Upon completion of the cross-connection work, residents can expect improved water pressure. Our goal is to finish the work within 18 hours.”
