The SAS Nagar Municipal Corporation in Mohali, Punjab, India, is set to discuss a proposal aimed at curbing the misuse of drinking water during peak morning hours in its last house meeting on April 9, 2026. The proposal includes a three-tier penalty system: a ₹1,000 fine for the first violation, ₹2,000 for the second, and disconnection of water supply for the third violation, which will require a ₹5,000 reconnection fee. This initiative comes in response to rising concerns over water scarcity and the disruption of equitable distribution caused by practices such as washing vehicles and watering plants during peak supply times. Areas affected include Phases 1 to 11 and surrounding villages like Mataur, Sohana, and Kumbra. The proposal aims to ensure better management of the city's water resources and provide relief to residents facing shortages. Following the municipal corporation's dissolution on April 11, 2026, the administration will be overseen by the MC commissioner, Sundeep Singh Garha, until new elections are held.
