While there is a drought in the state, tons of water is being wasted for more than a year every morning at the Kherwadi area in Bandra (East), thanks to a leak in the pipeline. Despite repeated complaints to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) by the local shopkeepers, the pipe hasn’t been fixed.

The area, which is surrounded by more than 1,000 shops, is close to Bandra station that is used by lakhs of commuters daily. Locals have also repeatedly complained about the unclean gutters in the vicinity.
