Panvel Mayor Nitin Patil is set to meet with Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis to discuss the water shortage plaguing CIDCO-developed residential areas such as Kharghar and Taloja. Prior to addressing the Chief Minister, the delegation will also confer with CIDCO's managing director in an effort to find a resolution to the issue.
Should no satisfactory solution be reached during these meetings, the delegation will subsequently approach Fadnavis, according to Patil's statement to Loksatta. A BJP symbol visible in Patil's Bhiwandi office has generated discussion. Narayan Chaudhary, a member of the Secular Front, shared that he resides within the CIDCO-managed areas and is currently grappling with water scarcity.
The issue of inadequate water supply has been escalating in recent months, with residents of Kharghar, Taloja and other CIDCO areas experiencing insufficient water even during the monsoon season. The problem is anticipated to worsen in the forthcoming months as Navi Mumbai grapples with a 10% water cut, exacerbated by the effects of El Niño.
Dr Kailas Shinde, the Navi Mumbai Municipal Commissioner, has also expressed the potential for further water cuts following Diwali, heightening fears that the current shortage in CIDCO residential zones may escalate should additional water not be made available.
