Karanjade, developed by CIDCO has over 550 buildings and a population of approximately 1 lakh. CIDCO, during the development of the Karanjade node, promised to provide basic amenities such as water, electricity, and good roads to its residents.

Among all, water is an important need and this is met from the Patalganga River, treated at Bhokarpada, and supplied to CIDCO by the Maharashtra Jeevan Pradhikaran (MJP). However, residents have been grappling with water shortage for the past three to four months, leaving them frustrated and in dire need of a solution.
