Illegal motors hit supply to other consumers: HMWSSB
The HMWSSB said that fitting motors to pipelines during water supply hours to draw water forcibly deprives other consumers of adequate supply and adversely affects the overall distribution system.
HMWSSB said checks against the illegal use of motors would continue and warned that action would be taken against those found violating the rules.
