With the civic elections to be held next year, corporators across party lines seem to be worried about the improper distribution of water in the city, as many parts face shortage. All the standing committee members unanimously adjourned the meeting on Tuesday over what they call ‘unfair’ distribution of water at the time of festivities. What they are concerned of is that the BMC’s mismanagement of water supply would upset the voters.

Opposition leader Ravi Raja raised the issue of water shortage in F North ward and how one water department staff’s transfer was affecting the supply in the entire region. Raja said, “The water department’s employees have written a letter stating that the transfer should not have been done as it will majorly affect the water supply. The authorities should take serious action in such cases.”
