New Delhi: Large parts of South and Central Delhi have been facing an acute shortage of water for the past few days. A major pipeline supplying water to these areas broke down due to the collapse of an under-construction parking facility over it and the situation is expected to only get worse over the next couple of days.
The officials of the Delhi Jal Board (DJB) say work on restoration of the pipeline near Madhuban Chowk is being carried out on a war footing. "But it will take around 72 hours to restore the line", said a senior DJB official.
Meanwhile, the DJB has asked citizens to contact its offices in South Delhi and NDMC areas for supply of water through tankers.
