Mumbai: A major leak was detected in a 1650 mm diameter main water pipeline on Dr E. Moses Road near Famous Studio, leading the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) to undertake emergency repair work on a war footing.
According to the civic body’s Public Relations Department, the leak was discovered late Wednesday night after the pipeline developed a crack, leading to heavy water leakage.
