After mid-day highlighted the issue, residents of Bageshri Society have finally begun receiving better-quality water from Wednesday, bringing relief after days of complaints about a foul-smelling supply. The improvement follows repeated concerns raised by residents over an unusual odour in their tap water, which had triggered fears of contamination and health risks.

“The water samples collected from the society were tested and found to be clear. The test report [a copy of which is with mid-day], rules out chemical contamination or sewage mixing,” said Pravin Dudhwadkar, engineer, BMC water department.
