Thousands of people living in Undri, Pisoli, and Mohammadwadi areas of Pune city are facing a big water problem. The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) hasn’t started using three big water tanks, which means many housing societies have to buy water from private tankers. This costs them a lot of money, and people are getting very worried.
The problem is worse in areas that became part of Pune city in 2017 and 2021. These new areas don’t have proper water pipes, and PMC didn’t plan well for giving water to so many people. As more and more people moved to these areas, the water supply couldn’t keep up with their needs.
PMC officials are saying they’ll help by sending more water tankers and building new water pipes quickly. But people don’t believe these promises anymore because they’ve been waiting for a long time. Some residents are so upset that they’ve gone to the Bombay High Court to ask for help.
The water crisis is making life very difficult for families. They’ve to spend lots of money to buy water from private tankers because they don’t get regular water supply from PMC. There are three big water tanks already built, but PMC isn’t using them, which makes people very angry.
People are now demanding that PMC must do its job properly. They want regular water supply, which is their basic right. The court case they filed shows how serious the problem has become, and they want PMC to solve it quickly.
The main problem is that these areas are growing very fast, but the water supply system isn’t growing with them. PMC needs to work harder to fix the water pipes and start using the water tanks. Until they do this, people will keep suffering and spending money on water tankers. The PMC must make real changes soon, not just make promises.
Meanwhile, the upcoming Pune Sports News coverage has been overshadowed by these persistent water supply issues affecting the city’s residents.
