Amid the ongoing indefinite strike called by the Mumbai Water Tanker Association (MWTA), the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has decided to takeover all the private tankers and ground water sources.

The Mumbai civic body said that the decision comes after the tanker body failed to resume its operations despite the BMC putting stay on the notices issued to private ground water source owners. The original notices had directed the owners to obtain a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the Central Ground Water Authority before supplying water to MWTA.
