Water Crisis Grips Keshav Nagar Residents, Private Tanker Dependency Soars

26 Mar 2024

Residents of Keshav Nagar are facing severe water scarcity, with little to no civic water supply even as early as March. Many housing societies in the area are heavily reliant on private tanker operators for their water needs, with PMC water supply being insufficient and irregular. Despite numerous complaints from residents, the situation remains dire, with some societies having to spend lakhs of rupees per month to purchase water. The poor quality of water provided by private tanker operators has also raised health concerns among residents, with reports of gastrointestinal issues becoming increasingly common.

 

The situation is particularly challenging for societies without access to PMC water pipelines, as they have to rely solely on tanker water, which is often inadequate and of questionable quality. The mounting expenses and health risks associated with the water crisis are causing distress among residents, who are calling for urgent action from the authorities. While PMC officials acknowledge the issue and claim to be working on setting up pipelines in affected areas, residents continue to grapple with the daily challenges posed by the water shortage.
