@aparanjape Big time we start planning for utilizing the water from nearby lakes which otherwise just flows away to downstream.
Ofcourse every year the water demand will be increasing and the Khadakwasla cluster would be insufficient even after 100% storage.
🚨 IMPORTANT UPDATE
✅ Traffic has resumed on the Pune–Mumbai Connecting Link Road. Vehicular movement has been restored after completion of extensive safety operations.
Despite relentless monsoon conditions, including heavy rainfall, strong winds and low visibility, MSRDC teams worked continuously to ensure the route could be reopened safely.
The following measures were undertaken:
- 🚧 Debris was cleared from the affected stretch.
- 🚜 The carriageway was thoroughly cleaned using specialised equipment.
- 👷 Technical experts carried out detailed inspections of Tunnel 2 and the adjoining slope to ensure no loose material posed a risk.
- ⚙️ Drone surveys were attempted; however, dense fog, heavy rain and strong winds restricted aerial operations.
Traffic has been restored only after the required safety and technical assessments were completed.
Commuters are requested to avoid non-essential travel during the ongoing heavy monsoon and to strictly follow traffic advisories issued by the authorities.
MSRDC remains committed to ensuring safe and reliable travel for all road users.

@abhisanket I believe the terrain is extremely complex. This can be a good lesson learned.
Constructing the tunnel itself is a marvel, I guess we can cut some slack on the government on this.
#WATCH | Delhi: On ethanol, Maruti Suzuki India Corporate Affairs Senior Executive Officer, Rahul Bharti says, "In the previous few days, we have heard that there are some doubts on the usage of ethanol in cars. India mandated E20 from 2023 for material compliance, and before that it was E10. After 2023, both the cars and the fuel are mandated for E20. The cause of concern is what happens if E20 fuel is used in cars that have been manufactured and sold before 2023, which were primarily designed for E10?... We have sufficient factors of safety that ensure there is no problem in terms of wear and tear, corrosion, or damage to the life of the car or the parts that come in contact with the E20 fuel if E20 is used on cars that were produced and sold in India before 2023. As a manufacturer, we have tested E10 cars, which were prevalent before 2023, on E20 fuel for all parameters, and we have not found anything of concern..."

I welcome the understanding reached between the United States and Iran on ending the conflict in West Asia, which has caused serious economic disruption across the world and led to loss of life in many countries.
India hopes that the implementation of this understanding will help restore peace and stability in the region and ensure the freedom of navigation and commerce.
We look forward to deliberations on the remaining issues reaching a sustainable final agreement.
