Finding it difficult to cope with the demands of vertical growth of the city, the Delhi Jal Board (DJB) has decided not to give water connections to each dwelling unit in a multi-storeyed apartment block. Instead, the DJB will now provide only one connection to a block of flats which has more than four floors.
Hitting out at the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) for "sanctioning mass building and construction across the city without factoring in the water availability" DJB chief Ramesh Negi said: "In wake of the city's water woes and a total hydrological imbalance, there has to be an end to the vertical growth. The DDA should ban further growth. Unless this is done, the city can never have an equitable water supply." There is "simply not enough water in Delhi", to support any more growth, he told Newsline.
