Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA Ram Kadam on Thursday got his haircut after nearly three years on the completion of his resolution to resolve the water problem in Ghatkopar.
In November 2022, the Ghatkopar MLA had taken a resolution not to cut his hair until the water problem in the region was resolved.
A video of Kadam cutting his hair has surfaced on social media platforms, in which he is seen smiling and appearing visibly happy. The haircut comes after the water supply issue in the Ghatkopar was reportedly resolved.
He expressed joy over the restoration of water in Ghatkopar. “I am happy that water tanks that can accommodate over two crore litres of water are going to be constructed here,” he said, adding that a water line from Bhandup has also been connected.
“Five years ago, I had closely observed how water is supplied across the mountainous regions. Today, I am happy about the fact that tankers with capacities of around two crores and seven lakh litres of water are about to be constructed over here,” Kadam was heard as saying in the video shared by news agency ANI.
In a post on X, the BJP leader posted photos of inaugurating a new pipeline in Mumbai’s Vikhroli and Anand Gadh areas. Additionally, he also shared pictures of his hair being cut at Anandgad Water Tank, which was donated to cancer patients.
“This resolve led to 4 years of patience, struggle, constant follow-up, and perseverance… Finally, those efforts have borne fruit. Today, Thursday, December 18, at 11:00 AM, the hair was cut at Anandgad Water Tank and donated to cancer patients,” Kadam said in a post on X.
