Meanwhile, parts of Delhi faced water supply problems last month as the Chandrawal Water Treatment Plant remained partially non-functional for several days. Delhi Cantonment, RK Puram, Vasant Vihar and other parts of South Delhi; Civil Lines, Kamla Nagar, Shakti Nagar, Timarpur and Malkaganj in the north; and the affected areas were Old Delhi, Sadar Bazar, Paharganj, Karol Bagh, Rajinder Nagar, Patel Nagar, Baljeet Nagar, Naraina, Palam Vihar and some areas managed by the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC).
DJB restored full supply on March 31, nine days after part of the plant was flooded, halting operations.
“I would like to inform that the Chandrawal power plant is now 100% operational. We have already tried twice to bring it into full operation, but its systems continued to face technical problems. We have increased the number of tankers wherever the supply has been affected,” said Delhi Water Minister Parvesh Verma, according to the Hindustan Times.
