Thane gets toll free number over water crisis
Due to water scarcity in the Thane district of Mumbai, the authorities have set up a 24x7 control room and a toll-free number 1077 to register complaints against the misuse or commercialisation of water. Earlier, authorities imposed section 144 of CrPC in the water-scarce Latur and Parbhani districts to prevent violence among people over water distribution.
