PMC commissions three overhead tanks to improve water supply to eastern parts of the city
Pune: The civic body is commissioning three overhead tanks to improve water distribution and pressure in the areas of Vimannagar, Dhanori, Tingrenagar, and Lohegaon from August. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has also announced changes in the existing water supply schedule on a trial basis in these areas. The revised schedule will take effect on July 31. A civic official said the administration will monitor the water supply from the overhead tanks to the distribution network and the availability of water for the next few days before finalising the revised schedules. The overhead tanks will supply water to Wadgaon Sheri gaothan, Yeshvantnagar, Sainikwadi, Sainathnagar, Sanjay Park, Mahadevnagar, Nagpur Chawl, Housing Board, parts of Lohegaon, Dhanori, Khese Park, Sakorenagar, Shastrinagar, Rajiv Gandhi Nagar, Subhashnagar Kalwad and adjacent areas. An overhead tank constructed in the Vimannagar area has a capacity of 45 lakh litres, while tanks at Kalwad and Lohegaon-Harantal can store 25 lakh litres and 20 lakh litres of water, respectively. The administration has completed the laying of pipes from the overhead tanks to the distribution system. All the tanks will receive water from the Bhama Askhed project. Residents of the Nagar Road, Lohegaon, Dhanori, Vimannagar and Wadgaon Sheri areas have been complaining of low-pressure water supply. Atul Hole, a resident of Lohegaon, said, "It is a much-needed step. We will monitor the pressure of water to check if there is any improvement." Shashi Kasar, a resident of Vimannagar, said erratic and inequitable water supply are major concerns. "The administration should work on providing equitable water to all areas, which will reduce major issues. As of now, some areas are getting adequate water, but some pockets are facing low-pressure supply," Kasar said. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now "Commissioning of overhead tanks will improve water pressure. In addition, we are also planning to commission one more overhead tank that was constructed in the Vimannagar area. We have maintained daily hours of water supply in the revised schedule so that people receive adequate water," Eknath Gadekar, PMC executive engineer, told TOI. The supply of water from Bhama Askhed, which started in 2021, reaches the city's eastern parts located along Nagar Road. The administration has been supplying water from 20 overhead tanks to areas dependent on Bhama Askhed.

He can outsmart a calculator: 13-year-old prodigy rules numbers game
Vadodara: While most teenagers are still learning basic algebra, 13-year-old Ayan Mohsin Vahora from Anand is busy performing complex mental calculations faster than a calculator — and even determining the day of the week for dates from centuries ago. Whether it's memorizing 500 random digits in under 30 minutes or solving intricate equations in seconds, Ayan's brain seems wired for numbers. His extraordinary talent recently earned him the Champion of Champions (COC) title at the 20th UCMAS Mental Maths State-Level Competition held in Gujarat. Competing in the grand level—the most advanced and demanding category — Ayan not only took home the coveted trophy but also won a cash prize of Rs 11,000. "This achievement is a dream come true for us," said Dr Mohsin Vahora, Ayan's father and a veterinary doctor at Amul Dairy. The Universal Concepts in Mental Arithmetic System (UCMAS) is a global child development programme that uses abacus-based visual arithmetic to enhance cognitive skills in children aged 4 to 13. It sharpens memory, concentration, and logical thinking — alongside improving mathematical ability. "At the state-level competition, the grand level is the toughest category," explained Dr Vahora. "Participants are given just eight minutes to solve a maximum number of problems involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and square roots — sometimes with up to six-digit numbers and decimals." Ayan's top score in this gruelling challenge earned him the COC title — granted to the highest scorer across the state. But his success doesn't stop there. Ayan has bagged multiple UCMAS titles and participated in several national and international contests. In Dec last year, he competed in an international mental maths championship in New Delhi, featuring 6,000 students from more than 30 countries — where he secured the second runner-up position. Back home, the young prodigy continues to set new challenges for himself. In one recent feat, he multiplied a 50-digit random number by a single digit in under two and a half minutes — all in his head.
