Four days after ceasing operations over civic body notices to private borewell owners to stop providing water to tankers unless they obtain fresh licences from the Central Ground Water Authority (CGWA), the Mumbai Water Tanker Association (MWTA) resumed supplying water across the city on Monday evening after its representatives met civic chief Bhushan Gagrani. The association is now considering approaching the Supreme Court to get contentious CGWA guidelines modified.
