MUMBAI: On behalf of the urban development department, minister Uday Samant assured the legislative assembly on Friday that an inquiry by additional commissioner will be set up for the malpractices in tanker water supply in Mumbai.
Through a calling attention motion, BJP MLA Adv Ashish Shelar informed the Assembly, that a project to ensure 24*7 water supply in Mumbai was undertaken under which two wards – Mulund and Bandra West were selected for the implementation. However, project at both these places failed. For this, Rs 150 crore was paid to the Consultant and Rs 250 crore to the concerned contractor.
