Thane, October 21, 2026: The Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC) has announced a 36-hour complete suspension of water supply across several key areas of the city. The shutdown will begin at 12:00 midnight on Thursday, October 22, 2026, and will continue until 12:00 noon on Saturday, October 24, 2026.

The civic body cited lower-than-expected post-monsoon rainfall, the impact of El Niño conditions and the early withdrawal of the monsoon season as key factors leading to a state government directive mandating a 10 per cent water cut.
