Parts of South Delhi face water shortageSR | New Delhi
Parts of South Delhi and Diplomatic Enclave area in Chanakyapuri falling under the jurisdiction of New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) faced acute water shortage on Wednesday. Due to pipeline burst in the area, the region remained dry for 24 hours. However, the senior official of NDMC’s water supply department maintained that the residents and embassies situated in and around Shanti Path were supplied water through alternate system viz water tankers. “An underpass is being constructed on Shanti Path in front of Vet Hospital near Railway Museum and labourers were carrying out digging work at the site. In the process, the pipeline of supply water got damaged. So, the NDMC could not supply water to embassies, Moti Bagh, Malcha Marg and area adjoining Chanakyapuri. Supply will resume from Thursday morning,” said he.
