The 500 mm diameter Futala feeder pipeline that supplies water to entire Futala area and areas along Amravati Road got damaged on Saturday morning, following which water got accumulated at the site of work of ambitious Futala beautification project. Orange City Water (OCW) accused Maha Metro vendor of damaging the pipeline opposite Futala lake ‘for the third time’, and lodged a complaint in this regard at Ambazari Police Station. In response, Maha Metro officials said that Maha Metro would carry out repairs at the earliest.
