MNS demands Sangamwadi water tank be completed in two months, warns of agitation

Residents of Pune's Sangamwadi area have been facing a drinking water shortage for the past month. The shortage is causing considerable hardship, and the demand for a regular and clean water supply is growing louder.

In view of this, the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) has demanded that the Pune Municipal Corporation administration immediately complete the stalled construction of the water tank in Sangamwadi and provide residents with adequate water.

Suhas Bhagwanrao Nimhan, MNS vice-president for Pune city, has submitted a memorandum to the Pune Municipal Commissioner. The memorandum says the water problem in the area is becoming more serious by the day, and that residents are facing many difficulties in arranging water for daily needs. The MNS says people are distressed because a basic facility such as drinking water is not available, and the administration should therefore give the matter immediate attention.

Construction of the Sangamwadi water tank has not been completed so far. The MNS has alleged that the work is stuck because of delays on the part of the administration and elected representatives. The memorandum takes the position that had the work been completed on time, residents would not have had to face the water shortage.

The memorandum demands that the municipal administration review the work immediately and complete the unfinished construction within the next two months. It also asks that a regular, adequate and clean water supply be started for residents of the area.

Through the memorandum, Nimhan has also warned that if the administration does not take concrete steps to resolve the water problem despite repeated demands, the MNS will launch an agitation with residents.
