Nobody can neglect your invaluable contribution in direction of fulfilling the wants of each Delhiite, in direction of assuring they get unhindered supply of water, significantly in one of the crucial troublesome instances in historical past.

DJB has put in about 115 tube wells and 5 Ranney wells in Palla and different appropriate places for water augmentation. The water manufacturing from right here is about 30 million gallons per day (MGD) and is probably going to be elevated additional, the assertion stated.
“While DJB has been taking regular steps to augment water supply within Delhi, it has been observed that due to frequent power failures that last anywhere between 2-10 hours on a daily basis, there has been a loss of a few MGDs in water production in May, and similarly losses have been observed in the preceding months,” he stated in the assertion.
