Gurugram, Jul 20 (PTI) The Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) has begun upgrading all water boosting tanks under their and the Municipal Corporation's jurisdiction to provide high-quality drinking water in the city, an official said.
Following this, the Chief Executive Officer of GMDA, A. Sreenivas met the delegation of South Korean Company Hansamkora Limited.

According to an official statement, taking a step forward in this direction, a joint venture of GMDA, MCG and the South Korean Company Hansamkora Ltd has been planned wherein all the water tanks at the boosting stations of GMDA and MCG will be strengthened by coating the tanks with stainless steel.
