Underground Metro services disrupted in Mumbai after technical snag

Services on Mumbai's Metro Line 3, also known as the Aqua Line, were disrupted due to a "technical snag" during morning peak hours on Friday, leaving commuters stranded amid confusion and overcrowding. This is the second major disruption on the 33.5-km-long corridor. On May 6, train services on the Aqua Line, which runs between Cuffe Parade in south Mumbai and Aarey JVLR in the northern suburbs, were hit due to a fire at T2 Airport station. The latest disruption, which lasted 40-50 minutes, affected office-goers during rush hour, with passengers accusing the authorities of not sharing timely updates. As train movements came to a halt, the crowd swelled on the platforms of Metro stations and concourse areas.

Mumbai water cut: BMC warns of criminal action against electric pump users

As a precautionary 10 per cent water cut grips Mumbai amid dwindling levels in reservoirs, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has warned of stringent action, including criminal cases, against citizens caught using electric pumps to illegally siphon off water from pipelines. The civic body enforced a 10 per cent water cut in the metropolis starting Friday as a precautionary measure amid falling water stock in lakes and forecasts of below-normal monsoon conditions linked to El Nino and Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) patterns. According to the BMC, the total usable water stock in the seven reservoirs supplying Mumbai stood at 340,399 million litres on May 11, which is 23.52 per cent of the annual required stock of 14,47,363 million litres. Additional Municipal Commissioner (Projects) Abhijit Bangar on Friday directed civic officials to intensify action against illegal practices, and said repeat offenders would also face disconnection of water supply. Bangar noted that inspections
