A citizen-led NGO in Pune — Sajag Nagrik Manch — has urged the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) to implement its OTP-based water tanker management system across the city without further delay, citing the possibility of increased demand amid water cuts and concerns over future El Niño effects.

In a letter to Pune Municipal Commissioner Naval Kishore Ram, Sajag Nagrik Manch president Vivek Velankar questioned the delay in implementing the system, which the civic body had announced six months ago to curb black-market sales, prevent malpractice, and ensure transparency in water distribution.
