Delhi Water Crisis: The scorching heat in Delhi-NCR has led to a shortage of water supply in several regions of the national capital, leading to major inconvenience. The residents of these regions are reportedly forced to buy water for drinking and other purposes. While many areas have not received water for the past few days, others are supplied with polluted water, leading to minor health issues. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Friday stated that the national capital is likely to witness severe heat for a few more days. However, it further stated that light to moderate rainfall is expected after June 17.

Several areas of the national capital, including Ghadauli B-Block, Dallupura Bhadana Mohalla, New Ashok Nagar, Brahmapuri, Noor e Ilahi, Welcome, Jafrabad, Chauhan Bangar, Ghadauli B-Block, Dallupura Bhadana Mohalla, Rani Garden, Sonia Vihar, Shiv Vihar, Prem Vihar, GTB Enclave, Sundar Nagri, Ghazipur, Garhi Mandu Village, Khajuri, Ambika Vihar, and Kheda Village, have been dealing with a shortage of water for the past few days.

"Delhi Jal Board has a water pipeline in Ambika Vihar of Shiv Vihar. But there is no water in the houses. When we complain to the Jal Board, we get a blunt reply that there is no water pressure. People here are dependent on Jal Board tankers for water," one of the residents was quoted as saying by Jagran.Com.
