Mumbai: Youngsters drill hole into water pipeline to cool off at Goregaon

On a sweltering Thursday, youngsters residing near the Siddhivinayak and Vindhyavasini Seva societies off Western Express Highway in Goregaon West scored quite the hole in one in a water pipeline in their efforts to cool off.

At first glance, the pipeline appeared to be burst, but a closer inspection revealed that it had been severed with a drilling machine to make the hole.

The youngsters, who appeared to be enjoying themselves, scrambled to cover it with plastic and stones upon spotting mid-day photographing the pipeline. This sealant proved to be ineffective, however, as water continued to seep out. Pics/Satej Shinde
