200 farmers booked for water theft in Aurangabad
Around 200 farmers and some industries in Maharashtra's Aurangabad district have been booked for alleged water theft, police said on Sunday. The theft dates back to a 2012 incident when about 3.5 TMC (thousand million cubic feet) of 6-TMC water released from Ahmednagar, did not reach a dam in Aurangabad, implying that it was "wrongfully" diverted from the river bank.
