Residents of east, northeast Delhi rue extended water cut

Residents living in parts of east and northeast Delhi were anguished as water supply shortage woes extended on Sunday. The delay was brought on by the interconnection work of 1,200mm water supply pipeline. However, DJB said that the work had been completed and water supply would be restored soon. DJB officials said that several residents of Vikas Marg had reported major leakage in the main supply line, which had led to water entering the basement of their homes, causing a threat to buildings. To avoid any disasters, the task of interconnection and repair was taken up. The supply was initially expected to be restored on Saturday evening, but complications led to an additional day of misery for residents, with several people complaining they had to purchase drinking water.
