BMC water raises stink in parts of Bandra, Khar
from their taps these days. The H-West ward office started receiving
complaints from Thursday and residents said the contamination problem
had aggravated since.
Sapna Mehra, who lives in Gulab building on Carter Road, said when residents started receiving dirty water
they checked the housing society tank but found no problem. “We have
senior citizens and children living in our society and the supply of
such water is worrying,” she said.
Sophia Rodrigues from Pali Mala said her society received BMC
water daily from 10 am to 1 pm but it was smelly. “The water stinks and
the it’s high time the BMC takes strict cognisance of the same,” she
said.
Local corporator Asif Zakeria, who raised the issue at the
ward committee meeting on Tuesday, said the problem had become chronic.
“It is a shame that such contamination issues are occurring in a ward
where the BMC was supposed to provide twenty-four-by-seven water supply
under the Water Distribution Improvement Programme,” Zakeria said.
