With the onset of summer, many residents have started using Tullu pumps to extract more water from their supply lines. These pumps, often illegally connected directly to House Service Connection (HSC) taps, reduce water pressure, affecting neighboring households and creating low-pressure in the entire areas.
the Nagpur Municipal Corporation–Orange City Water (NMC-OCW), with support from the Nagpur City Police, has initiated a city-wide Tullu Pump Seizure Drive during water supply hours. Since April 29, 2025, around 66 Tullu pumps have been seized from zones including Laxminagar, Hanuman Nagar, Nehru Nagar, Satranjipura, Lakadganj, and Ashi Nagar.
NMC-OCW officials said the drive aims to restore balanced water pressure and promote responsible usage. Residents are being urged not to use such pumps and to cooperate in maintaining fair supply for all.
Citizens can report illegal usage of Tullu pumps by calling the NMC-OCW Helpline at 1800 266 9899 or emailing contact@ocwindia.com. Officials assured that complainants’ identities will be kept confidential and appropriate action will be taken based on the reports.
