The BMC on Monday restored the water supply to Malabar Hill and the surrounding areas, five days after the pipelines were damaged due to the landslide. However, the civic body said it will need some time to resume traffic on the road that had cracked in the August 5 incident.

Three pipelines were destroyed when a retaining wall on B G Kher road in Malabar Hill collapsed on Wednesday following the downpour. The BMC has laid a temporary pipeline to meet the demands of the affected areas, said a civic official.
