PMC to replace valves, carry out repairs of pipeline supplying water to Chandni Chowk overhead tank
2
Pune: Residents of Bavdhan, Pashan, Paud Road and some parts of Kothrud can expect relief from water cuts as the civic administration has taken steps to replace the valves and carry out repairs of the key supply line that brings water from Warje purification unit to Chandni Chowk overhead tank.
This supply line developed leakages on two occasions in the last two months, which led to major disruptions in water supply in areas dependent on Chandni Chowk overhead tanks. The new valves are expected to reduce glitches and prevent water disruptions, an official from the water supply department of Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) said.
He said some technical faults had also been found that were hampering the flow of water in the pipeline.
"Teams are working on it. The fault will also be rectified," the official said.

The administration is planning to spend Rs 16.66 lakh on the valves and other immediate works. More funds would be made available as required, officials said. Residents of the affected areas said that the administration needs to expand the scope of work instead of just replacing the valves and washing the supply line. Ashish Sane, a resident of Pashan, said unequal distribution of water was a major problem.

"We want the administration to work on this issue, identify areas where water availability is less, and where the distribution network is weak," he said.
Baner resident VS Kher said that some areas receive excess water. "The situation is not the same everywhere, as some pockets do not get adequate supply. There are variations in water pressure as well. All these problems pertain to lapses in the distribution network.
It is good that PMC is improving the supply from the main line to overhead tanks, but it should also pay attention to water supply from overhead tanks to the distribution network," Kher said.
Officials said that the deputy engineers would visit areas getting low-pressure supply. "We will also see if valve operators are following the water supply schedules," an official said.
Supply issues persist:
- Unequal distribution of water
- Some areas receive water for more hours
- Valve operators do not follow supply schedule properly
- Low pressure is a common problem in many pockets

Land of tandoori butter chicken hooks a taste for boneless fish.
Ludhiana: In Punjab, where butter chicken reigns supreme and river fish rarely grace the plate, a quiet transformation is swimming upstream. A boneless catfish called Pangas — or Pangasius — is fast becoming the poster child for a new wave of aquaculture and culinary experiment in the state, offering consumers a cleaner, safer, and more palatable alternative to traditional varieties. And for farmers, it's a high-yield, fast-turnover crop that's reshaping the economic landscape of fish farming. "Punjabis generally avoid fish with bones or spikes," said Dr Meera D Ansal, dean of the College of Fisheries at Guru Angad Dev Veterinary and Animal Sciences University (Gadvasu). "Traditional fish like Singhara, Mali and Sohl are seasonal, hard to farm, and full of bones. That's where Pangas fits the bill." With its neutral flavour, boneless texture, and rapid growth cycle, Pangas is ideally suited for the Punjabi palate — and the Punjabi farm. Already popular in southern India, the catfish is now being grown across 60 acres in Punjab by 25-odd farmers, producing nearly 500 tonnes annually and cutting the state's dependence on frozen imports from Andhra Pradesh. The shift is part of a larger evolution in Punjab's aquaculture story. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Use an AI Writing Tool That Actually Understands Your Voice Grammarly Install Now Undo From 52,000 tonnes of fish production in 2000, the state now produces nearly 2 lakh tonnes, with 70% of that coming from farmed rather than captured fish. All of it is consumed within the state. Punjab's 44,000 acres of aquaculture land are still largely dominated by carp species like Rohu, Mrigal, Catla, and Grass Carp — mostly consumed by migrant communities — but Pangas is fast catching up. What makes Pangas stand out is its efficiency. It delivers 7-8 tonnes per cycle in about eight months — nearly three times the yield of traditional carps — while using less water and requiring less space. It can even be farmed indoors using biofloc, RAS (recirculating aquaculture systems), and other controlled methods, making it ideal for water-scarce regions or land-locked farmers. "The farming of Pangas within Punjab means access to fresh, preservative-free fish for local consumers," Dr Ansal said. "We're also promoting value-added products like fish fillets, fingers, balls, keema, pickles and protein powder, which open new markets and increase farmer profits." With growing concerns over pollution in natural rivers, the controlled farming of Pangas presents a safer and more sustainable option for health-conscious consumers. Its high protein content and easy digestibility also make it a strong candidate for inclusion in nutritional programmes. Still, the journey isn't without its challenges. Pangas does not spawn naturally during winter, and Punjab currently relies on seed stock from other states. Gadvasu now invests in hatchery and broodstock research to develop local seed supply and close the loop on production. "We're working towards year-round availability with the help of cold storage and processing infrastructure," Dr Ansal said. "With the right govt support, Pangas could go from a niche choice to a Punjabi staple." Get the latest lifestyle updates on Times of India, along with Friendship Day wishes , messages and quotes !
