Anger erupted in Navi Mumbai's Ulwe on Friday morning as residents of Ananta Towers, a housing project developed by CIDCO, held a ‘Handa March’ outside the CIDCO office in Bamandongari.

Starting at 11 am, protesters carried empty pots and chanted slogans such as “CIDCO wale chor hai” and “Paani do, paani do”, drawing attention to the severe water shortage affecting thousands of families.


Residents demand basic water supply



The demonstration saw strong participation from residents, who said repeated complaints to authorities have yielded no results.

“We are not asking for luxury, just basic water,” one protestor said, while visuals showed marchers carrying utensils and shouting slogans to express their frustration.

Warnings of escalating protests

The protest quickly caught the attention of local residents, and videos circulated showing widespread anger and dissatisfaction.

Residents warned that larger protests would follow if immediate action is not taken to address the water crisis.

CIDCO officials were not immediately available to comment on the protest or the demands of the residents.
