Residents are advised to store enough water in advance and use it wisely during the shutdown period. Limited tanker services may be available, but delays are expected due to high demand.

The NMC has requested citizens’ cooperation and assured that these measures are necessary to improve the water infrastructure for the long term. For any help or complaints, people can contact the OCW Helpline at 1800 266 9899 or email: [email protected].
