For the second time in two weeks, some Mumbaikars relied on water tankers, as the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) imposed a 30-hour water cut recently to commission a new water tunnel. The water supply to certain wards was affected. The civic body had previously carried out an 18-hour water cut on April 23.

The water tunnel project involves connecting a new tunnel from Amar Mahal (Hedgewar Udyan) in Chembur to Pratiksha Nagar in Sion, which further links to Parel, the Trombay reservoir, and the Turbhe high-level and low-level reservoirs.
