The extension request indicates the municipality's commitment to overcoming hurdles and delivering a robust and sustainable water distribution system.

PMC officials have assured that despite the extension, efforts will be intensified to expedite the remaining work and meet the revised deadline. The 24x7 water supply scheme remains a priority for the municipal corporation, and the extension is viewed as a strategic measure to ensure the project's successful and effective implementation.
