Pune Citizens Oppose Further Water Cuts, Demand Improved Distribution

Times of India · india

Pune citizens and opposition parties are pushing back against the PMC plans for steeper water cuts, advocating instead for improved water distribution. Residents argue they are already facing an approximate 13% supply reduction and low water pressure, with some alleging indirect cuts due to lowered pressure. Activists claim existing curbs are sufficient until 2027 if distribution losses, estimated over 32%, are addressed. Politicians are calling for stakeholder consultation and transparency on water requirements before any new restrictions are imposed.
