Marziya warned the officials that if water supply is not restored by next Tuesday, the residents would march to the TMC headquarters on Wednesday. With stored water levels dropping worryingly low this year, it was decided that water supply would be cut by 10 per cent. “But where is the remaining 90 per cent going? There has been no water supply in Mumbra, Kausa area for the last 15 days. So citizens have had to call for tankers. Is there a nexus between the tanker mafia and the authorities? Or is Mumbra being treated differently due to its minority status?” questioned Marziya. 

Vinod Pawar, head of TMC’s water department, said, “There were some technical issues that led to a shutdown; all issues are now being resolved. I visited the site on Friday and found water supply is smooth now. We are trying our best. There was some problem with supply from June 6 to 10, but then it was restored again by June 19. After that,  there were some issues for a few days again, but we have almost resolved the issue.”
