Amid the scorching heat conditions in Mumbai, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has announced 24-hours water cut in three wards of the eastern suburbs.

As per reports, parts of N Ward (Ghatkopar), S Ward (Kanjurmarg, Vikhroli), and T Ward of the city will remain affected from 11:30 am on Friday, May 24 till 11:30 am on Saturday, May 25.

The water supply will be affected temporary owing to the work of diverting an existing 1,200 mm diameter water main pipeline, which is currently located in T-ward, along Mulund Goregaon Link Road (GMLR).

It will take place from Fortis Hospital to Udyog Shetra in Mulund (West) is being undertaken by the civic body through the GMLR department. In the process, the connection from the main supply network will be disconnected to prevent any water loss.

The diversion of the pipeline is important as it currently lies at a spot where a foundation for the GMLR has to be created, infringing the process.

Two 1,200x1,200-mm diameter cross connections along GMLR Road are scheduled to be undertaken by the hydraulic engineer department.
