Civic body forms committee to distribute water equally [1]

BMC will set up a committee to enable equitable distribution of water in the city.

The committee will survey the distribution system to identify areas where supply is not equal. Additional municipal commissioner Rajeev Jalota told a standing committee meeting on Monday, “Through the committee headed by Mahadev Chitale, BMC will conduct a survey and try to meet the water demand of the population. There are a number of areas with high density of people receiving less water, while other areas with low population receive a good amount.”
