Water crisis for Lutyens' Delhi…MPs and ministers' houses may also be affected

While only ordinary people were suffering due to lack of water in the capital Delhi, now the problems of people living in luxurious colonies have also increased. Leaders and VVIPs living in Lutyen's Delhi, known as the most VIP, are also facing water scarcity. According to information, Delhi Jal Board was supplying 125 MGD of water to NDMC, but Jal Board has now reduced the water supply to NDMC by 40 percent. Such a huge reduction in water supply means that earlier NDMC was getting 125 MGD of water from Jal Board, now its supply has reduced to 80 MGD, due to which NDMC has 4 times MGD of water per day in areas where water tanker supply is less than 2, 1 to 2 times. has decreased. The minister's bungalows will also be affected, and water supply to the underground reservoirs of Tilak Marg and Bengali Market in the most exclusive areas of the country has been reduced by 40 per cent. According to NDMC, it is Bengali Market, Ashok Road, Harishchand Mathur Lane, Copernicus Mark, Purana Gila Road, Babar Road, Barakamba, K.G. Mark, Windsor Place, Ferozeshaw Mark, Canning Lane and surrounding areas will be affected. It is special that there are many central government offices in these areas. Apart from this there are also bungalows of ministers and MPs. Delhi Jal Board Gives Its Argument: Delhi Government and Delhi Jal Board have their own arguments in the whole matter. The board claims that less water is sourced from Haryana. Due to reduced flow of water from Wazirabad treatment plant, water has been stopped in NTMC area. A large number of tankers are filled with water from Calipari's NDMC booster pump daily and supplied to the lotion zone. The driver says that there has been a sudden increase in the demand for water, but the lack of water has forced tankers to fill up several times. According to information, the Delhi Jal Board wrote a letter to the NTMC on May 22. In the letter, the NDMC has been clearly informed that the DMK should make adequate arrangements in advance so that there is no shortage of water during the swearing-in ceremony at Rashtrapati Bhavan. Because Delhi Jal Board is facing shortage of water. What does NDMC have to say? NTMC Vice President Satish Upadhyay said that there is water shortage in three areas in New Delhi. We need 125 MLD of water. Whereas the available water is 80 mld. He said that he has written letters to the Delhi Jal Board from time to time for proper water management. The situation has worsened due to maladministration in many parts of the capital. We have installed a new pipe. In JJ areas like Sanjay Camp and Vivekananda Camp, one tap is installed for every fifth house. However, it is made of water. NDMC management blames tanker mafia and tender mafia for the problem. In Delhi, the situation has worsened due to lack of pre-seasonal arrangements.
