Speaking on water supply issue, he said Ramtekdi water tank which is of 90 lakh litre capacity used to supply water to our areas. The water supply from this tank is insufficient now owing to the development. But to resolve the issue of water supply PMC built two tanks of 30 lakh litres near Dorabjee Paradise.
