BREAKING: Residents of Shahunagar in Dharavi, Mumbai, are facing severe water shortages after holes were allegedly drilled into the main water supply pipeline by workers linked to the Adani Group.
Local accounts claim the incident was deliberate, aimed at causing distress amid ongoing tensions over the massive Dharavi Redevelopment Project. Videos circulating on social media show the pipeline being tampered with, leading to major disruption in the area.
Dharavi, Asia’s largest slum, is undergoing a high-stakes redevelopment led by the Adani Group in partnership with the Maharashtra government.
While the project promises modern housing and infrastructure, it has faced strong opposition from residents concerned about displacement, transparency, and the handling of essential services like water supply.
Authorities have not yet issued an official statement on this specific incident. Residents are demanding immediate repairs and an investigation.
Is this sabotage or part of redevelopment work gone wrong? Share your thoughts below
