tankers to supply water Free

City residents will now get free water through Delhi Jal Board's (DJB) fleet of water tankers as per the declaration made by the Chief Minister, Mr Arvind Kejriwal and based on the inputs given by the Task Force.

The schedule of tankers at fixed points has already been uploaded on the DJB website as almost half of these are GPS-enabled, and so can track the real-time movement and location of these tankers. "This is an important step to improve the tanker services by the Jal Board by introducing transparency and bringing in predictability," said a DJB official.

The fleet has around 800 departmental and hired water tankers in 22 zones of DJB. So far, schedule for 20 zones has been uploaded while the rest is in process and in case of non-delivery of water by tankers, consumers may lodge a complaint on the numbers provided on the website.
