BMC proposes ring wellsThe civic body’s standing committee on Thursday said it would consider building more ring wells in the city as they last longer than bore wells.
“I have seen that ring wells are in good condition in many areas and there is no complaint about saline water getting mixed,” said Rajul Patel, a corporator from Andheri (W), when the proposal of Rs 50 crore for cleaning of wells was passed by the committee.
Chairman of the standing committee, Ravindra Waikar, said: “If ring wells work better, we will not mind building ring wells.”
