In a commendable effort to enhance safety for runners and joggers in the Bandra Fort garden, local residents Archana Karthik and Namrata identified a pressing issue. With the park opening to the public at 6 am, the lack of adequate lighting between 6 am and 7 am has led to numerous accidents, as many runners struggle to see unmarked hazards in low visibility conditions.
Recognizing this risk, Archana and Namrata took it upon themselves to take action. This morning around 7 am, they placed high-visibility reflective tape around treacherous areas of the garden that have become known for causing falls.

In the early hours of Tuesday, a significant water pipeline supplying the Pali Reservoir in Bandra West experienced a sudden leakage at Lucky junction on SV Road around 2 am. This incident impacted one of the two main pipelines, specifically a 600 mm diameter line, leading to disruptions in water supply across several areas within H-West ward. Some locations are currently experiencing total shutdowns while others are seeing low-pressure water supply from Veravali Reservoir and the second Pali inlet.
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is actively addressing the situation and has deployed a specialized team to conduct repairs urgently. They are working diligently to stem the leakage and restore normal operations as quickly as possible. Although repair efforts are underway, no specific timeline for completion has been provided yet.
The BMC assures citizens that they will continue to monitor and update on progress, emphasizing their commitment to restoring full water service across affected localities as soon as feasible. Updates will follow as more information becomes available regarding water restoration efforts in your locality.
