Residents of Geeta Colony in East Delhi have expressed concerns over inadequate government water supply, receiving only half of what is needed. Consequently, many depend on water tankers. North and south-west Delhi, including Mehrauli and Chattarpur, are also significantly affected.
Jatin, a cab driver from Sangam Vihar, told The Sunday Guardian that since last week, “we have been facing water scarcity. We hardly receive water once a day with marginal flow; eventually, we have to depend on the water tankers.”
Ramandeep from Shakarpur in East Delhi claims, “The water is black and smelly, like it’s being supplied directly from the sewer line.” He added that the water is so bad that it can’t be used for drinking, storing, or other purposes.
Riyaz Khan from Geeta Colony said, “There are a lot of problems regarding water in this area. We get only one tanker for the entire area. The tanker water is used for drinking and cooking purposes. Sometimes, we don’t even get the tanker and are forced to buy bottled water.”
