“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.”
