No Water Supply In Parts Of Delhi For 16 Hours Today Due To This Reason

The Delhi Jal Board said on Monday that there will be no water supply for 16 hours in parts of north Delhi on Tuesday. The supply will be halted due to maintenance work.

According to a statement issued by Jal Board, the affected areas include Gopalpur, DDA SFS Flat Mukherjee Nagar, Gujranwala Town, Police Station Azadpur, JJ cluster in Azadpur Mandi, Shalimar Bagh, Wazirpur Industrial Area, Lawrence Road, Punjabi Bagh, and adjoining areas.

“A shutdown for 16 hours with effect from 8 pm on September 10 has been approved by the competent authority for repairing of 1500 mm dia Punjabi Bagh main at Indra Vihar park emanating from Wazirabad Water Treatment Plant (WTP),” the statement said.

Due to the repair work, water supply will be stopped, and therefore, residents of the affected areas are advised to make judicious use of water, it said. As per the statement, water tankers shall be available on demand from the DJB help line or the central control room.

Earlier this year, during the summer season, several parts of the national capital experienced severe water shortages. Among the areas that witnessed water shortages included Sanjay Camp in Chanakyapuri and the Geeta Colony area. In the scorching heat, residents had to endure lengthy lines to collect water from tanker trucks. They were forced to roam the streets with buckets in their hands, waiting for the water tanker to fulfill their daily water requirements.

Meanwhile, in Kerala, the District Collector of Thiruvananthapuram has announced a holiday for all educational institutions within the Thiruvananthapuram Corporation limits on September 9 following severe water supply issues in the city.

The decision was announced by District Collector Anu Kumari. The District Collector has clarified that despite the holiday, the ongoing admission processes in colleges will continue as scheduled. “The holiday will apply to all educational institutions, but it will not affect the ongoing admission processes in colleges,” the Collector said in a statement.
