[Resolved]  DDA — Facing Water Supply in individual premises in DDA Flats, Pocket-1, Sector-6, Dwarka

Dear Sir,

We want draw your kind attention that the residents of pocket-1, sector-6 Dwarka are not getting adequate water supply regularly. We get supply sometime for 10 minutes in 24 hours or sometime no supply at all. We are surviving on private tankers.

For quite some time we have been complaining about water problem to area engineer and JE of this pocket. They are not doing any serious efforts in this regard. Our families’ are becoming sick and their daily lives are going into hell due to facing this water problem.

Earlier for some time, we were getting water mixed with mud and getting foul smell. When we made complaints with DDA authorities, they blamed us only and responded in writing that water is being mixed with toilet in your bathrooms only. But we wrote to DDA again and again then the problem could at identified at ground near water booster pump and then same has been rectified.

You may see how DDA authorities are torturing the residents of DDA flats. They have provided poor infrastructure with inadequate water boosting capacity etc and this is to bear for years. Private adjacent multi storied residents have not installed any motor, but get supply even above 8th floor in Dwarka.

Now a days we are facing acute water supply, the water booster is not capable to boost the supply upto our premises, even it is not boosting up to common points outside premises at ground. The Jr Engineers blaming us only. The residents are compelled to install motors in garage to pull water, now if we complain for water problem with JE, he is used to terrorize with dire consequences. This is fact that no body wants to invest in motor and pay regular electric bills to get water. But no option left and compelled to do so. Even though, we do not get any water.

On 25.4.2008, at 9PM, The repair work at a common point of water supply was going on. We are questioning the JE why you are not listening our problem, and asking to do needful on priority basis. But the JE has quarreled and misbehaved with indecent language during arguments. He threatened to cut all supply of particular premises, if any body will be trying to become smart and watchdog.

This is to quote that we have been paying highest rate of water charges over Rs 6.28 per KL. Whenever, rest of the Delhi pays about 1.50 per KL. Is it our fault? We also pay the bills regularly, even tough the JE use to harass our residents to bring photocopies of previous bill otherwise he use to put arrears in the next bills.

Therefore, we demand action on JE, civil SWD-7, Dwarka (Mr R. P. Baniwal) for his misconduct in the colony and appropriate action to improve the water supply.

I am ready to accept any penalty if DDA authority can show us reaching water at water tank installed at rooftop by DDA.
