The water supply scheme for theManjariarea may be launched soon with its final stage trials already underway.
The scheme was sanctioned in 2012-13 at a cost of Rs 44 crore. But, its work had been on slow track since then. MLA Chetan Tupe said the pending works were pushed in the last two years and the scheme is getting ready now to provide water to the most populated parts of Manjari like Mahadevnagar, Gokulpatti and Gaothan.
TheMaharashtra Jeevan Pradhikaran(MJP) is implementing the scheme. Residents said the project got a push after Manjari was merged into Pune municipal limits in 2021. The Population of Manjari has gone up significantly in the last decade, pushing up water demand.
