While the ongoing water shortage crisis continues to take its toll on the city, Pune Municipal Corporation’s (PMC) water supply department claims it has arranged for 10,415 trips by water tankers to the hardest hit areas between July 1 and 20. Citizens and city corporators however, paint an entirely different picture and say they have not received any tankers despite repeated requests.

“Since last week PMC has increased water cuts and now we receive water supply on alternate days. As our building is in the interior parts of Mahatma Society, we are not getting adequate water supply. So we have repeatedly called PMC and even some private tankers but still have not received any,” said a resident of Anubandh apartment in Mahatma Society.
