For more than 15 days, a severe water crisis has gripped some units in Aarey Milk Colony. Residents shared with mid-day that the only reliable option at their disposal is unhygienic and non-potable cattle farm water; while drinking needs are being met by fetching water from outside the colony and water tankers. Children have started getting skin rashes from the use of farm water, and senior citizens are forced to trek long distances to carry heavy water pots home.
