Water shortage sparks protest at Rajiv Gandhi Hostel for Girls in DU

“The warden does not pick up our phone calls and the Provost does not care to show up to address the issue. They just call for two water tankers of 6,000-litre capacity each when the hostel requires at least 1 lakh litres daily. Can you imagine how it feels when there is not a single drop of water to even freshen up or flush?” she added.

Last year, too, students had held a protest over the same issue. Water minister Kapil Mishra had heard their greivances and promised regular water supply.

Students, however, alleged that as soon as the university authorities heard of the protest, water supply was restored.

University officials, meanwhile, said they were looking into the issue and had spoken to the Delhi Jal Board.
