PUNE: The Maharashtra State Housing Federation said its members were willing to share information on the groundwater use but refused to pay the registration fee of Rs10,000 per unit for fresh permission to withdraw the same, as demanded by the Central Ground Water Authority in a public notice.
The federation would apprise the state government about it because most of the groundwater sources like borewells were dry and not being used, said Suhas Patwardhan, the vice-chairman of the Maharashtra State Housing Federation.
