Water supply will remain disrupted across several parts of Gurugram for 24 hours from Friday, October 23, as the Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) undertakes infrastructure upgrade work at the Sector 16 Boosting Station.

According to a public notice issued by the GMDA on Wednesday, the shutdown will begin at 10 am on October 23 and continue until 10 am on Saturday, October 24. The work is required for the construction of a new pump house, which will necessitate a temporary halt in water supply to several residential sectors, villages and commercial areas.

The planned shutdown is expected to affect a wide network of localities across the city. Residents in the affected areas have been advised to make arrangements in advance and use available water supplies carefully during the disruption.
