Navi Mumbai Water Crisis Prompts Urgent NMMC Meeting As MLA Manda Mhatre Flags Alleged Water Theft

Navi Mumbai's NMMC will convene an urgent meeting to address the city's water supply issues following concerns raised by MLA Manda Mhatre. Allegations of alleged unauthorised water withdrawals by developers, low-pressure distribution, and misuse of water in MIDC areas have prompted the meeting. Mhatre has urged the administration to take immediate action to ensure residents receive regular water supply at adequate pressure, especially in gaothans, slum areas and housing societies.

The meeting will discuss these complaints, examine measures to ensure equitable water pressure, and consider monitoring tanker water supply to prevent artificial shortages and financial exploitation of residents. Senior NMMC officials, including Additional Commissioner Shirish Aradwad and water supply department representatives, will attend the meeting.
