Noida residents have complained of a significantly reduced supply of water. In sectors such as 10, 11, 12, 15, 27, 31, 32, 33, 34, 37, 56 and 71, the problem of reduced hours of supply has emerged over the past ten days. Many other sectors are reportedly receiving saline mixed with 'soft' Ganga water.
"Our house is situated on the ninth floor and very little water reaches that level. The entire pressure gets exhausted on the lower floors. It is a big problem for us," Rama Pandey, a resident of a housing society in Noida Sector 62, said.
Munna Sharma, president of Noida Sector-71 RWA and former office bearer of the Federation of Noida RWAs (FONRWA), said, "Normally, we are scheduled to get six hours of water supply, three each in the morning and evening, but these days, we are getting water for just three hours. For whatever little time that we get it, the pressure is so less that it is hardly of any use. We have complained several times to the authorities but the situation remains the same."
When contacted, a senior Noida Authority official said, "We are looking into the problems of each pocket and area on complaint basis. The problem of reduced water supply cannot be generalised to the whole of Noida."
'There are only some pockets where problems persist. But wherever complains arise, we instantly look into them,' the official added, asking not to be named as he was not authorised to speak to media.
In Ghaziabad, the situation is worse. Despite a change in the regime, the power problem has turned from bad to worse, affecting water supply too.
The worst-hit areas are the Delta colonies comprising Brij Vihar, Rampuri, Ramprastha, Chandan Nagar and Surya Nagar, where residents are being supplied water for barely an hour a day. The situation is equally bad in adjoining Sahibabad and trans-Hindon colonies of Shalimar Garden, Shyam Park and Tulsi Niketan.
When enquired about the issue, Ghaziabad municipal commissioner Jitendra Singh said, 'In the trans-Hindon colonies, water comes from a distance of 8-10 km. Then, there is the problem of intermittent power supply. We supply water for whatever duration the power remains. For other times, we are helpless.'
Very nice about Khora Colony,
ReplyDeleteI'm also compare to my old city( Pune ), It's no label grade for hole NCR.
Here we face all daily uses( water, light, mobile network...etc).
One and more important that light and water problem is very big issue.
Hole NCR more polluted than all over world.
How care ? ( You, I or who.. ? )
We should care my own city, we don't spoil any where.
Here road is very dirty, no any one care this type of.
Finally, In my opinion NCR is more polluted area. The GOV should comes ahead these types of issues.
