Mira-Bhayandar will face a 10 per cent water cut as the civic body seeks to manage available water reserves in the face of concerns over rainfall and the impact of El Nino, according to a press release issued by the Mira-Bhayandar Municipal Corporation (MBMC).

The civic body said the decision was taken in accordance with government directives to ensure that the available water stock in the Vaarvi Dam lasts until August 31, 2027, and to prevent a potential water shortage in the coming months.
