The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) is set to provide piped water supply to nearly 150,000 residents in the NIBM Annexe, Mohammadwadi, and Undri areas by May 15. Additional municipal commissioner Pavneet Kaur announced that the pipeline infrastructure is being laid rapidly, with water to be sourced from three overhead tanks near Dorabjee Mall. Despite facing disruptions from local interests, Kaur has committed to personally oversee the project's completion. In response to complaints about private water tanker operators hiking prices, the PMC is drafting a policy to regulate these operations, aiming to gather data on the number of tankers in service. Kaur's recent inspection of the area included discussions with local residents and corporators about ongoing civic issues, with many expressing hope for improvements after years of neglect.
