Congress conducts agitation
The Congress party on Wednesday conducted an agitation against Girish Bapat, the district guardian minister on the water cut issue under the leadership of former Member of Legislative Council Mohan Joshi and city unit president Ramesh Bagwe.
The Congress demanded 16 TMC (Thousand Million Cubic Feet) water for Pune city.
Joshi said, “There is enough water storage in the Khadakwasla reservoir and yet, the citizens of Pune are forced to face water scarcity. If there is no water in the dams, then water cuts are acceptable, but unnecessary cuts by the state administration is creating hurdles in the smooth water supply.”
