Lakhs of litres of water went down the drain after a pipe burst occurred at an elevated point in front of the seven-storey Silver Sand building at Oshiwara in Andheri West around 2.30 pm on Wednesday. Residents claimed that the force of the water was so powerful that their windows and walls have been damaged.

Areas such as Millat Nagar, SVP Nagar, MHADA Colony and Lokhandwala cannot be supplied water until the 1,200-mm-diameter pipe is repaired. No infrastructure work was going on in the area at the time of the incident and it is possible that a patch had blown away due to the pressure of water. While the area around Infiniti Mall was flooded, no injuries were reported.
