Illegal BMC Pipeline Connection in Sewri
In Mumbai, some unknown people made an illegal connection to a water pipe owned by the city government (BMC).

When the BMC team tried to fix the pipe, a crowd argued with them.
The police have started an investigation to find out who did it.
An FIR was registered against unidentified persons for stealing water by tapping into a BMC pipeline in Sewri.
A BMC sub-engineer filed the complaint after discovering an illegal one-inch iron pipe connection.
