Contaminated water for the last over 3 weeks ?

Dear Vohra ji,

Our colony has been getting contaminated water for the last over 3 weeks.  It is reported that main sewerage system near Madhuban Chowk on Vikas Marg gave way resulting blockage of entire sewerage system towards Laxmi Nagar side.  Due to leakages in sewer line as well as water lines caused the entire problem.  With repeated vigorous follow up by us and other neighbouring colonies, DJB put some pumps to drain out the sewerage system, but even after three weeks, they have not been able to identify the leakages.  Many residents fell sick due to contaminated water.  They are using bottled water, but how long is a big question.

DJB has failed to give proper satisfactory reply.  This is the state of affairs after paying 60% of the bill amount for "sewer maintenance' plus service charge and other taxes.  We request the CEO, DJB and the LG to take immediate strict action against those who are playing with the health of the public.  We even approached the Union Health Minister, Dr Harsh Vardan, but no action seems to have been taken from his end as well.
