The City and Industrial Development Corporation of Maharashtra (CIDCO) will issue tenders within two months for the automation of water supply in the Panvel-Uran region (part of Navi Mumbai).

The transition from manual to automated water supply has been initiated to address the persistent water scarcity and irregular supply faced by residents of Kharghar, Panvel, Taloja, Ulwe, Kamothe, and Kalamboli.

BJP MLA Prashant Thakur raised the issue of water shortages and instances of no supply for up to two consecutive days in the Panvel-Uran area. “People are buying flats worth lakhs and crores, yet water supply remains a major concern for residents,” Thakur said while raising a calling attention notice on the issue in the Legislative Assembly on Thursday.
