The additional cut began on Monday evening. “A lot of water was wasted. We will have to compensate by intensifying water cuts,” said a BMC official, requesting anonymity. “We will take more than two days to fix the pipeline as the crack is big.”

The western suburbs will be the worst affected by the pipeline burst.
