Residents of multi- storey buildings and owners of farmhouses and hotels in the city could have a tough time in the days ahead.
Consumption of uninterrupted round-the-clock ground- water will soon be a matter of the past for them.
Concerned about the fast depleting water table, the department of Environment, Delhi Government has decided to show no mercy to residents who illegally draw groundwa- ter by installing borewells or tubewells.
The department, through a circular issued on May 18, has ordered formation of an advisory committee at each revenue area to check violations and seal illegal wells, seize drilling rigs and permanently disconnect water supply.
Each committee will be headed by a Deputy Commissioner (Revenue). "After the Delhi Jal Board (DJB) restricted the supply of water, the illegal drawing of groundwater through borewells and tubewells has increased enormously," said a senior DJB officer.
