• Municipal Commissioner Abhilash Mishra admitted dirty water supply in some areas due to old pipelines, advising residents not to drink it and providing tankers.
• Mishra acknowledged the dirty tank at the corporation office, ordering immediate cleaning, but denied claims of tanks not being cleaned for five years, citing scheduled maintenance records.
