No Water at MHADA luxury towers

Residents of colony who took possession of homes last year struggle for basic necessities

Rising above the Mumbai skyline, the towering skyscrapers of the newly built MHADA colony in Prem Nagar, Goregaon (West), are a stark reminder of the city’s failed promise to provide basic amenities to residents. Despite the civic body’s claim of a 5% water cut, residents say that they are experiencing a 50% reduction in their water supply, leaving many households with barely enough water to meet their daily needs.

Residents of LIG 416 – Pahadi Goregaon, who took possession of their homes only last year, are struggling to access even the most basic necessities. The situation has become so dire that they are forced to wake up early to fill their buckets.

“Our colony is only a year old, comprising four 23-storey buildings with a total of 736 residents. Unfortunately, the supply of water is woefully inadequate,” said Hemant Kadam, a 51-year-old resident.
