Non- Supply/ Short supply of wate

Delhi Jal Board

SUBJECT: Non- Supply/ Short supply of water

I am the resident of Sant Nagar (East Of Kailash), New Delhi, Flat No. 180 G.F. I would like to inform you that I am facing acute water shortage problem in our area/ locality. It has been more than three months since there is either short supply (only 20 to 25 minutes in 24 hours) or absolute no supply of water in our area. Even during short supply period, the water flow discharge is so bleak that one can hardly make any storage for the day’s natural needs. I have made numerous complaints but all in vain & no heed is paid towards our problems and moreover we are being forced to live with an unwanted/ faulty system. It has become now impossible for me to survive in short/ non supply water zone. It has become a routine for me to spent most of the time in the early morning (right from 4.00 A.M. to 7.00 A.M.) in buying and searching of water. I keep on contacting daily on telephone concerned J..E. as well other senior officer of this area and apprise them about the situation as narrated above but yet to see any rectification in the water supply system. It is highly regretted to inform you that most of the time I am forced to buy Tankers (Rs. 800/- to Rs.1300/-Per Tanker) which is not a small as well as an easily affordable amount for a common civilian for the water like commodity.

In addition to above I would like to bring following points also in limelight:

1. My area is located in the rear vicinity of Nehru Place Metro station and an adjacent Huge AASTHA Park to the station.

2. There is Metro work going on around Nehru Place Metro station and probably the construction work is being fed with the water which is supplied from the same pumping station as ours, may be the pipe line is bifurcated from the line which feeds our area.

3. It is occasionally seen the water pipe line broken in the above area and groups of labors relishing the free water supply which ultimately fills the park’s huge ponds/lakes.

4. There are other 2-3 locations e.g. one near Govt. School, Sant Nagar, where the water supply line is persistently broken by the unauthorized & unknown people every now & then and is hardly taken care of by the authorities.

So in the light of above it is submitted that I am tormented due to this non- supply/ errant water supply resulting into acute water shortage. I plead that some senior & responsible officer of the Jal Board must be sent urgently to the actual site and check the dismal conditions faced by the people of Sant Nagar in our location

I will be highly obliged if suitable action is taken ASAP. Waiting for a Quick Response and Action in this regard please. Thank you & regards.
