Residents in the Kharghar and Taloja nodes of Navi Mumbai will face a 12-hour water supply disruption as the City and Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO) has announced an emergency shutdown starting Friday night.

The disruption is due to a major technical snag involving an 800 mm diameter mild steel (MS) pipeline at the Retibandar Belapur Creek crossing. Officials said a significant breakage was detected in the line, requiring immediate repairs to prevent further damage.
