Distressed patients heaved a sigh of relief on the third day of water cuts in south Mumbai and parts of suburbs. The condition in Nair Hospital, which was worst hit due to the water cut, improved slightly on Wednesday. The hospital used water tankers and stored water to meet the emergency requirements. On contrary, the residents in these areas were left at the mercy of bore wells.

“The condition in the hospital has tremendously improved,” said Manisha Mhaiskar, additional municipal commissioner (Health). Bhabha hospital in Bandra also survived the third day comfortably. “We ordered water tankers to last the phase-wise water cuts,” said Seema Malik, chief medical superintendent of peripheral hospitals.

The BMC has chalked four day phase-wise plan to modify distribution pattern and improvement of water supply by installing tunnels in place of water pipeline.

“We can’t afford to order water tankers daily. Instead we have decided to take water from borewells,” said Kailashini Jadhav, a resident at Parel. While Indrani Malkani, resident of Malabar Hills and secretary of ALM Little Gibbs Road said “The people were informed by the civic body. Due to which we stocked water during supply hours.”
