Pune, October 21, 2026: The Pune Municipal Corporation's (PMC) Hadapsar-Manjri regional office has reportedly been without drinking water for the past 15 days, forcing municipal employees and citizens visiting the premises to purchase bottled water.
The situation has raised questions about the availability of basic public facilities at a civic office responsible for addressing residents' complaints, including those related to water supply.
PMC Employees and Visitors Face Drinking Water Shortage
The Hadapsar-Manjri regional office handles several essential municipal services, including property tax, birth and death registration, encroachment complaints, road maintenance, drainage, solid waste management, pest control and garden-related work.
An Aadhaar service centre also operates within the premises, attracting numerous visitors for documentation and identification-related services.
However, with drinking water reportedly unavailable for over two weeks, employees and visitors have been forced to arrange water themselves.
Residents have questioned why a municipal office serving thousands of citizens has failed to provide such a basic necessity.
Irregular and Contaminated Water Supply Alleged in Nearby Areas
The issue comes amid continuing complaints about water supply in several neighbourhoods under the regional office's jurisdiction.
Residents of Sasanenagar, Hadapsar village, Kale-Borate Nagar, Satavwadi and Gondhalenagar have reportedly raised concerns about unpredictable water supply timings and the quality of tap water.
Some residents have alleged that the water supplied to their neighbourhoods is occasionally contaminated. However, these allegations have not been confirmed through water-quality testing in the information available.
The complaints have increased pressure on civic authorities to address both the shortage at the municipal office and wider water supply concerns.
Citizens Demand Immediate Action From PMC
Residents have demanded that the Pune Municipal Corporation restore drinking water facilities at the Hadapsar-Manjri office without further delay.
They have also called for regular water supply schedules, improved monitoring of drinking water quality and permanent measures to prevent recurring shortages.
The reported situation highlights concerns over basic amenities at public offices and the need for timely civic maintenance.
An official explanation from PMC regarding the 15-day shortage or a timeline for restoring drinking water was not available in the information provided.
