Delhi Water Supply Cut: The Delhi Jal Board (DJB) has announced a 24-hour suspension of water supply across several parts of the national capital on Thursday due to ongoing drain repair work. The DJB stated that the supply will be affected in areas of Central and South Delhi and requested residents to use water judiciously. Water will not be available from 5 PM on May 22 to 5 PM on May 23. The disruption is due to the elevation of a 900 mm diameter duplicate main pipeline that is obstructing the flow of drain number 12A near the WHO office.
