India, May 3 -- The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has achieved a major milestone under its 24x7 water supply scheme by connecting a 19-km pipeline to three newly constructed water tanks near NIBM Road. The project is expected to ensure water supply for areas such as Mohammadwadi, Dorabjee Paradise, Corinthian and nearby localities.

Additional municipal commissioner Pavneet Kaur said the phase was launched on the occasion of Maharashtra Day (May 1), when the pipeline was charged and the tanks were filled at around 5.30pm. "This will provide significant relief to newly developed areas and reduce dependence on water tankers. Some areas may start receiving supply by May 15 due to pending gaps in the network," she said.
