The 15 per cent water cut imposed by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) in Mumbai has not only affected those residing in buildings but also chawl and slum dwellers. To gauge the situation on the ground and gain an understanding of problems faced by families staying in slum pockets, mid-day visited Ambawadi in Dahisar East and interacted with locals.
Heena Jasmine Rathod, a resident of Dhani Shankar Pandey Chawl, said, “On normal days, we get water from 4 am to 7 am but due to the water cut, water is supplied from 4.30 am to 6.30 am. The pressure is very low so it takes time to fill our containers and the water is yellowish. I have stored water in buckets and utensils just in case water isn`t supplied for a day or two.”
