Another Malabar Hill tank plan stirs protest

Locals feel that potentially inaccurate data given by BMC to IIT-R may have led to misleading report

Although the controversial proposal to reconstruct the Malabar Hill reservoir has been scrapped, plans are in place to build an additional tank to facilitate necessary repairs. However, the residents have expressed concerns that potentially inaccurate data provided by the BMC to the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee (IITR) may have led to a misleading report. On Monday, resident delegations met civic authorities to discuss the issues. A letter outlining these concerns was also submitted to BMC chief Bhushan Gagrani. The BMC will be organising a joint discussion between IIT-R and the residents to reach a satisfactory resolution.
