New Delhi: Residents in several areas of Delhi are facing growing difficulties over the supply of contaminated water. Complaints have emerged from colonies across the Yamuna that black and foul-smelling water is coming from taps. Residents of Ashok Nagar and nearby areas say clean water is not reaching homes regularly. This has increased concern not only over the availability of drinking water but also over people’s health.
According to local residents, when taps are opened in many homes, the water appears black and also has a foul smell. It has become difficult to use such water for drinking and cooking. People are being forced to depend on bottled water or other alternative arrangements for drinking water. Families without additional resources are facing a challenge in meeting daily needs.
Residents have demanded that the department concerned test the quality of the water and improve the supply system. Consumption of contaminated water may pose a risk of stomach and intestinal illnesses. Experts have advised that water with a suspicious colour or smell should not be used for drinking or preparing food.
It is necessary to investigate faults in the water supply pipeline, leakage of sewage water or other technical reasons. Relief for people in the affected areas will be possible only through testing of water samples and a permanent solution to the problem.
