Contaminated Water Supply in Dwarka's 2000 Flats for Seven Days, Delhi Jal Board Fails to Provide Solution

Residents of a large residential complex in Dwarka, New Delhi, have been receiving contaminated water supply for the past seven days. Approximately 2000 flats have been affected, with inhabitants receiving unsafe water for drinking and daily use. Local residents have reported consistent complaints of foul odor and color change in the water, leading to increased health concerns. Rakesh Sharma, President of the local Resident Welfare Association, stated that they have filed multiple complaints with the Delhi Jal Board (DJB), but no concrete action has been taken yet. He said, "We have informed the authorities about the presence of dirt and chemicals in the water, but no solution has been found so far." Sharma further added that people in the affected area have been forced to rely on bottled water, which has increased their difficulties. Delhi Jal Board officials responded to the issue, stating that they have received complaints about water quality in the Dwarka area and are investigating the matter. A senior official said, "Our teams are assessing the situation and will try to find a solution soon." However, residents allege that the board is not taking prompt action. Health experts have also warned that consuming contaminated water can lead to infections, gastrointestinal diseases, and other health risks. Experts have appealed to residents to exercise caution and resolve the issue as soon as possible.
