Mumbai water tanker strike called off

Mumbai, Apr 14 (UNI) The Mumbai Water Tanker Association (MWTA) on Monday called off its indefinite strike, following a meeting with the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) Commissioner Bhushan Gagrani at his official residence in Malabar Hill in south Mumbai.
The strike, which began on April 10, protesting against the Central Ground Water Authority’s (CGWA) directive mandating licenses for groundwater extraction, was called off today late evening after the BMC invoked the Disaster Management Act, 2005, which empowered the civic body to requisition all the private water tankers and borewells in Mumbai.
Civic officials said that while the administration assured support for the MWTA’s demands, the body was also warned sternly against continuing the strike.
