The water cuts in Pune are causing distress among residents, with reduced supply hours and weak pressure making it difficult for them to access sufficient water. Despite assurances from the Canal Advisory Committee, the unauthorized water curtailment by the PMC is adding to the uncertainty. Residents in areas like Kothrud, Erandwane, Gokhale Nagar, Janwadi, and Wadarwadi are reporting decreased water flow and shorter supply durations, forcing them to adjust their routines to cope with the situation.
The ongoing dispute between the PMC and the Irrigation Department over dues is exacerbating the water crisis in Pune. While Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar has ordered the PMC to pay Rs 100 crore in arrears, the PMC is only willing to pay Rs 44 crore initially, leading to further complications in resolving the issue. The potential for water scarcity in the coming months is a cause for concern, but efforts are being made to ensure sufficient water supply to the city.
During a recent meeting with PMC officials, Ajit Pawar stressed the importance of addressing the water supply complaints from residents facing low-pressure supply. Planning water usage effectively and prioritizing the needs of the residents are key priorities to mitigate the impact of the water cuts in Pune. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
