Water crisis in Gurgaon sectors: people forced to hire tankers, buy water for daily use
As an exigency, the RWA is having to use submersible pumps, with its tube wells largely having dried up
Around 40-50 tankers have been coming each day to cater to over 4,000 homes in the area since the issue arose (Archive) As temperatures soared, tankers are becoming the order of the day across Gurgaon’s Sector 57, as there has been no water supply for five days now.
The arrangement is costing the Residents’ Welfare Association (RWA) up to Rs 1,500 per tanker. Around 40-50 tankers have been coming each day to cater to over 4,000 homes in the area since the issue arose.
“For days now, the Municipal Corporation has not been able to supply any water. We have sent many representations, went to meet the Deputy Commissioner, the Municipal Commissioner too, but to no avail,” said RWA president Roshan Lal Yadav.
As an exigency, the RWA is having to use submersible pumps, with its tube wells largely having dried up. “The fault partly lies with the boosting station at Sector 51 not working optimally, which is affecting us. But we are still meeting people daily in the hope of a solution,” said Yadav.
