NAGPUR: After engaging private operator — Orange City Water Private Limited (OCW) — and spending around Rs1,100 crore, the Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) has reportedly brought only 20% of city areas under 24x7 water supply scheme in the last one decade.
The original deadline to cover entire city under 24x7 scheme had expired five years ago. Even the extended deadline for completion of the scheme ended on March 31. This extension was approved as part of the controversial one-time settlement (OTS) offered to the OCW.
