Hey Gurmeet, though it is risky to get water from other sources, the developers have welcomed the NMC’s initiative to save water. And they are planning to arrange water on their own for the construction activities.

Permission is not being given for new tap connections.. and the existing connections to construction sites have been sealed.. How the builders would be reacting at this?

They have to arrange water from other sources like wells, borewells, tankers, etc. The NMC wants to stop water supply to builders to save potable water from the municipal network. Residents will be facing water shortage otherwise.

What are the other sources of water available there? Will that be enough for construction activities?

It disconnected water supply to construction sites only and not for the households. As there is scarcity of water, the corporation thought not to supply water for building constructions and asked the builders to look for other sources for water.
