Residents of Kalina’s Manipada Road have been forced to consume contaminated water for two months due to ongoing road concretisation work. They claim that during the digging process, the old water pipeline was damaged, and the contractor also broke the sewage network, leading to potable water infested with worms. Raj Kutir, a residential building on Manipada Road, has been facing water contamination issues for over a month. 

Leena D’sa, a resident, said, “We have been getting foul-smelling water for one and a half months. For the last two weeks, worms have started appearing in the water. We filed a complaint with the BMC, but the issue remains unresolved. I personally feel stomach discomfort, so we have started using bottled water for drinking.”
