The indefinite strike by the Mumbai Water Tanker Association (MWTA), which has affected water supply to major hotels and two posh South Mumbai clubs since Sunday, has also brought to a standstill all construction work on the Coastal Road project.
Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) officials told The Indian Express on Monday that all ongoing works of the Mumbai Coastal Road Project (MCRP) requiring daily water supply have been stalled for more than 24 hours. “There is a requirement of 12-15 lakh litres of water daily just for the tunnelling works. Besides, water is required for concretisation, paver washing and filling works as well. This water comes from tankers, which has stopped since February 9 following the strike,” a senior official said.
