In an effort to keep residents healthy during the monsoon season, the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation has released a set of guidelines to prevent the spread of water-borne diseases. Among the recommendations are to thoroughly clean all living spaces, to use only boiled or filtered water for drinking, and to avoid contact with flood water.
The decision was taken after the Aurangabad bench of the Bombay High Court asked the state DGP to introduce dedicated cells and provide telephone numbers where one can lodge complaints against the use of nylon manja.
