What Happened
Two deaths from water tanker accidents within three days sparked protests in Wanowrie-Undri, Pune. Gracia Dora, 22, and Ariz Shaikh, 19, died when tankers hit their two-wheelers. Residents blamed water scarcity forcing reliance on private tankers. An overhead tank exists but remains non-operational. Officials confirmed 700 meters of incomplete pipeline connection prevents water supply to 50+ societies. Pipeline work is reportedly underway with expected completion in two to three months.
