The Mumbai Water Tanker Association (MWTA) has suspended its operations indefinitely across the city in protest against a spate of notices issued by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) to owners of private wells from which the tankers draw water, PTI reports.

According to PTI, the association, which operates approximately 1,800 registered tankers with capacities ranging from 500 to 20,000 litres supplies nearly 350 million litres per day (MLD) to residential and commercial zones across Mumbai, including the affluent areas of South Mumbai. However, from Thursday, the entire fleet has gone off the roads.
