Mumbai: BMC Refuses To Roll Back 10 Per Cent Water Cut Despite 96 Pc Stock, Cites Weak September Rainfall
The BMC has refused to withdraw Mumbai’s 10% water cut despite reservoirs being 96% full, citing below-normal rainfall and the risk of pressure on reserves if September remains dry. Corporators across party lines demanded a rollback, while the civic body said it would review lake levels after September and explore additional water sources.
