The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation has said it will not start water cuts for the city even as only 22.66 per cent of the water stock remains in its dams. The decision was taken after a high-level meeting held by civic chief Bhushan Gagrani on Monday.

Future decisions will be taken based on rainfall forecasts in coordination with the meteorological department, said the BMC. Gagrani, who held a high-level meeting with the civic hydraulic department, reviewed the current water stock. Additional Municipal Commissioner Abhijit Bangar, hydraulic engineer Purushottam Malvade, and other concerned officials were present during the meeting.
