After having faced water woes on Thursday, lakhs of residents from Jogeshwari to Bandra, and even in Ghatkopar and Kurla woke up this morning hoping to find water in their taps. However, they were left disappointed on finding that the supply wasn't restored as promised by the civic body. And, if some of the BMC officers' calculations turn out to be correct, people will have to struggle for another two to three days."

On Thursday, people living in Jogeshwari-Santacruz stretch did not get water as the main inlet from Tansa to Veravali reservoir was severely damaged during Metro work at Jogeshwari on Wednesday. The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) had accused the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) of giving them a faulty utility map of the area that led to the accident. Following the goof-up, BMC had assured that the supply will be restored by Friday morning.
