Residents in eight areas of Delhi’s Outer North district will face a complete water shutdown for 18 hours starting Wednesday, October 16th, at 10 am. The Delhi Jal Board has announced this disruption due to essential maintenance work on the Bawana water main. Affected areas include Bawana Village, Sultanpur Dabas Village, Pooth Khurd Village, Barwala Village, Majra Dabas Village, Chandpur Village, and areas under Wards 35 and 36, along with adjoining regions. The DJB advises residents to store enough water in advance and utilize water tankers available on demand.

A consultant who was dismissed from the Delhi Jal Board (DJB) last year has come under the scanner of the Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB) after allegations of continued involvement in the DJB’s affairs. The Directorate of Vigilance has raised concerns about the potential compromise of the DJB’s integrity, prompting the referral to the ACB. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government has condemned the move as a ‘witch-hunt’ and claims that it is part of a larger effort to obstruct governance in Delhi.
