Residents of Bandra and Khar West were hit by a double whammy after a gas pipeline burst on Tuesday and a water pipe burst on Monday. While a Mahanagar Gas pipeline broke during road digging work in Bandra West, hitting hundreds of households, a water pipeline burst near Lucky Restaurant in the same suburb. Mahanagar Gas officials said the gas supply would be restored on Wednesday morning.

Asif Zakaria, former Bandra West corporator told mid-day that the gas pipeline broke around 3 pm on Tuesday while the old asphalt road was being dug for concreting work. Minor flames erupted from the spot, and the fire brigade was immediately called. A team from the BMC and Mahanagar Gas started working on fixing the problem immediately. Gas supply in some areas was restored by Tuesday evening, Zakaria added.
