Delhi Metro told to pay for damaging DJB pipeline

DJB CEO S S Yadav said upon receiving information, the DJB took steps to avoid loss of drinking water and to “prevent damage to the existing properties and any other unforeseen mishap”. He said they stopped the Wazirabad plant within half an hour and isolated the water line within limited stretch to minimise public inconvenience. The PWD was informed about the removal of a heavy structure above the damaged water line. Additional water tankers were also deployed, he said.
