A water pipeline in Bandra burst on Thursday afternoon, in the second such incident reported within a fortnight, due to ongoing work on an infrastructure project. While the repair work was started immediately, areas in Mahalaxmi and near Bandra station will be affected.

The incident on Thursday was reported around 3.30 pm in a 9-inch water pipeline near Badi Masjid in Bandra West. Metro rail work is being carried out at the spot. In the previous incident, a 600- mm diameter inlet of the Pali Hill reservoir was damaged at Waterfield Road in Bandra West while the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) was carrying out pre-monsoon drain work.
