Water supply in Kurla and adjoining areas was restored after the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) completed repair work on a 1200 mm diameter water pipeline at Tilak Nagar Nala on the 90-foot road in Kurla South on Monday morning.
According to the BMC, the damaged section of the pipeline, located nearly five metres below the road surface, was fully exposed before repair work was carried out. A damaged stretch of around 1.5 metres was replaced, restoring the pipeline's efficiency to its original level.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), the civic body said the repair operation involved technical challenges due to the presence of a 300 mm diameter Mahanagar Gas Limited pipeline on one side and the bridge's pile foundation on the other. Despite these constraints, BMC engineers and staff completed the work carefully and in a planned manner.
