The water crisis will persist on Saturday, as it did on Friday. Pumps that were shut down on the morning of February 20, for the replacement of a 1200 mm main pipeline in Jalud under the third phase of the Narmada project, solar plant works, and repair of a 1100 mm leakage at Rajiv Gandhi Square, will not be reopened today for large parts of the city.
