by Ekta ChaubeyIn a shocking incident in western India’s Maharashtra, a major water pipeline burst, causing widespread concern among locals.
The incident took place in Aarey Colony of Powai area of Mumbai city on August 23.
Visuals showed the burst appearing to be extremely fierce, with locals visibly distressed and concerned about the situation.
According to reports, the break occurred in Tansa’s 1800 mm diameter pipeline near the Powai Anchor Block, according to reports from the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC). The local authorities quickly stopped the valves to prevent the waste of treated water.
To address the issue, the BMC decided to isolate the damaged section of the main line, which runs from the Powai Anchor Block to the Maroshi Tunnel Shaft. This necessary isolation will impact the water supply to several areas, including K/E Ward, H/E Ward, Behram Pada, Bandra Railway Terminus, and G/N Ward. Residents in these regions have been advised to brace for water shortages until the problem is resolved.
