Mumbai staring at water crunch: 7 lakes hold just 10.3% stock, BMC tightens taps
Mumbai faces a severe water crisis as lake levels drop to 10.3% capacity, prompting the BMC to impose a 20% cut on industrial and commercial establishments, suspend supply to construction sites and swimming pools, and halt new construction water connections. These measures, effective Wednesday, add to an existing 10% citywide cut, with a review scheduled for June 30.
