ABP News Channel — an issue regarding water scarcity and tank suppliers at indore

Dear sir, we are the residents near barfani dham, mr-9 indore.
Although there is govt narmada water supply, but since every other citizen uses pump, the pressure of the water is low and there is a water scarcity at some especially poor families, households and boys hostels. Say for example at a boys hostel at 23, barfani dham nagar, the boring is not working and the narmada water supply pressure is low. Hence, there is water scarcity.
Today, i thought let me inquire about the water tankers. I came to know that there is a 181 cm helpline. But 7:47am no one picked up the phone.
Then i searched on internet and called to meena water suppliers. He told me that they are not getting water. But he told, me that go to the robot square, opposite to bhoosa mandi, you will find a lots of tankers. They stand there. I went there and came to know that there are tractor with tankers. The person is asking 1000 rs for 6000 lit, or 900 rs and at the least 800 rs per 6000 lit.
I came to know that they all fill up their tankers at a nearby place. The person told me that they have to pay 300-350 for filling up the water.
How? If the narmada supply is for everyone, then how they get such a pressure of water to fill up the tanks??? Do they have bore wells? But the government says that they do not allow borewells/tubewells in the areas where narmada supply is there. Then i came to barfani dham tanki. There is a huge tanki where big tankers and small tankers fill the water.
But for the common public there is no rich supply. Public has to stand in q to get water. I asked one tanker person. He asked rs 1000 for 6000 lit. And he challenged me to go and do whatever.
I soon understood that there is a "water mafia" at indore.
I would humbly like abp news to do a sting operation or investigative journalism to expose that mafia.
While nagar nigam promises that they will supply free water tanker for the needy ones, these tankers, take water easily and sell to free individual customers like us. One of them even said "go and ask the god".
There are two three specific issues:
A) narmada water supply is satisfactory but the timings are erratic and it is not universal. Today it came at 4am and then again it came at 8:30am suddenly when most of the persons didnt know.
B) almost all citizens use pumps to suck up the narmada water supply so the poorest one who doesnt have pump and whose house is the most distal, they suffer.
Many citizen waste narmada water by washing their bikes and motor vehicles, while many other are striving for even the drinking water.
C) there is a water mafia working at indore.
They take huge sum of money from the needy customers.
I can understand the govt cant supply water to each and every household and there is a rapid development and colonies appearing like mushrooms. But govt can catch the water mafia who are exploiting the needy customers, in broad day light.
On one hand there is robot, the symbol of development at robot square, whereas on the other hand barely 50 meters away from it, there is water tanker sucking the blood of common public.
Its a shame on our society as a whole, but its a blot on shivraj singh government where police is not catching the criminals.
Best regards,
