In good news for Royal Palms residents, and many other establishments, the face-off between Mumbai Water Tanker Association and the state government over implementation of a Union government order on ground water ended on Tuesday. The state has assured the association that it will write to the Centre and the Central Ground Water Authority about the hurdles faced by tanker bodies. The government further assured that no punitive action will be taken against tankers till the issue is resolved. In view of this, representatives of the association said that they would hold a meeting before resuming water supply.
