The wait for a clean Powai lake just got longer as the BMC received only one bid to its tender for a consultant to suggest a solution to divert the sewer network which has outfalls in the lake. The civic body has now decided to extend the cut-off date for filing bids by two weeks. 

Sewage discharge into the Powai lake has been a point of contention and discussion for more than 10 years and the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation finally invited tenders to appoint a consultant for the same on July 15.
