The Vedanta Society Management Committee chairman Dr Somnath Dhonde has repeatedly approached the PCMC Water Supply Department, urging immediate action to resolve the issue. However, despite raising formal complaints and following up diligently, no effective resolution has been implemented.
“This is not just an inconvenience—it’s a health hazard,” said Sumant Deshpande Resident of Vedanta society . “Many residents are having stomach issues, and other waterborne symptoms. It’s extremely disappointing that our concerns are not being treated with urgency by the authorities.”
The society is now demanding immediate intervention from Top PCMC officials to ensure clean and safe drinking water is restored without further delay.

Vedanta Management Committee urge PCMC Authorities to inspect the supply pipelines, conduct water quality testing, and provide a clear timeline for the resolution of the issue.
