Over two weeks after mid-day reported that thousands of litres of water was being wasted every day since the past 1.5 months from a burst water pipeline near the Jogeshwari-Vikhroli Link Road, the authorities have not only managed to seal the puncture but also, in the process, identified, three other major leaks and over 40 illegal water connections.

On March 11, mid-day had reported that a pipeline was spewing a jet of water as high as 20 feet up, finally gushing into the nearby gutter. It was a criminal waste of water since the country is reeling under the impact of three failed monsoons and 16,800 villages in Maharashtra itself are currently drought affected.
