BMC allocates 30 lakh per ward to revive old wells amid water concerns

The <b>Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC)</b> has finally stepped up to address the city's looming water crisis by allocating <b>₹30 lakh per ward</b> for the rejuvenation of defunct wells. This initiative aims to restore long-neglected water sources across Mumbai to bolster the city's depleting stock. While the plan to clean wells and install pumps sounds proactive, the system’s tendency to wake up only when reservoirs hit critical lows remains a recurring administrative pattern. Relying on forgotten infrastructure is a desperate patch-up for years of urban planning neglect. Residents can expect improved local water access if the execution avoids the usual bureaucratic delays.
