Amid ongoing water cuts, Mumbaikars can draw some hope from the news that Tulsi lake finally started overflowing around 8.30 am on Saturday. Last year, too, it had started overflowing on the same date. However, lakes outside city limits are yet to receive heavy rain. The combined stock of all lakes reached 40 per cent, but this is still not sufficient to withdraw water cuts. 

“Though the lake levels have improved and water stock is in comparatively good condition, it is still not enough to withdraw water cuts,” confirmed a senior official from the BMC.
