Water shortages have deepened across large parts of Delhi, with residents in several neighbourhoods reporting dry taps for days, mounting dependence on tankers and growing concerns over contamination.
The Delhi Jal Board (DJB) and the Delhi government have not issued any public advisory or detailed statement acknowledging the scale of the crisis, despite officials confirming a shortfall of around 90-100 million gallons per day (MGD).
Residents across north, south, west and east Delhi said the lack of communication from authorities has compounded the hardship, leaving many unsure about supply timings or restoration schedules.
Residents also reported an increase in contaminated water supply, particularly in colonies receiving low-pressure supply, with officials attributing the issue to pipelines remaining empty for long periods.
Talks with Haryana regarding additional raw water are ongoing, but no further relief had been received till Friday evening.
