No Water, No Brides in this Delhi Village : NDTV News
Issapur: At a village in the suburbs of Delhi, a chronic water problem has left many young men facing prolonged bachelorhood.
Issapur in Najafgarh in the capital's north has not seen a wedding for several years, and villagers link it to the water crisis.
"People come here and the minute they see the water situation, they change their mind. (They) say they don't want to get their daughters married off here. There are so many who are touching 30 and still haven't got married," says Prem Singh, 28, pointing at his friend, 31-year-old Narender.
Narender retorts, "There were two proposals for Prem Singh, but the families ran when they saw him chasing a water tanker. They must have wondered whether their daughters would have to do the same."
For most villagers, this is no laughing matter.
An old man tells us, "I've been trying to get my nephew married for a long time. I gave him clean new clothes in the hope that it will work but when nothing does, I still have to make sure he washes his clothes so that we can try again."
Roshni Dagar, returning home with half a bucket of drinking water borrowed from a neighbour, isn't surprised. "It's natural for people to worry about their daughter getting married into a hard life," she says.
Sushila Dagar stares at four empty water drums in her home as she complains, "Water has to be filled from tankers. Women have to climb the tankers to extract water with the help of pipes. Many fall and hurt themselves. Why would anyone knowingly want to go through that?"
Issapur depends on erratic water supply from the Delhi Jal Board. That means every morning, women queue up by the roadside with water containers. They wait all day and if the tanker doesn't show up, they simply repeat the drill the next day.
Villagers here wonder why access to water is such a struggle for them even though they are a part of the country's capital city.

Some important issues !
नमस्ते।
दिल्ली के अधिकतर इलाकों में पीने का पानी ग्राउंड फ्लोर पर भी बिना पंप लगाए नहीं आता। ऊपर की मंज़िल या वाटर टैंक भरने के लिए तो पंप लगाना अनिवार्य हो गया है।
पंप से पानी खीचने के कारण बिजली का ख़र्चा तो बढ़ता ही है साथ में मेन लाइन की गन्दगी भी आती है और साथ मेँ आती है'हवा' (AIR). कई जगह तो पानी कम और हवा ज़्यादा आती है। किन्तु हमारे पानी का मीटर पानी के साथ-साथ हवा को भी नापता (Read) है। इस तरह वहाँ के लोग पानी से ज़्यादा हवा का भुगतान करने को मज़बूर हैं। इस प्रकार दिल्ली जल बोर्ड जितना पानी सप्लाई नहीं कर रहा उससे कहीं अधिक की बिलिंग हो रही है।
इस विषय पर गंभीरता से विचार करते हुए आगे कार्यवाही करनी चाहिए क्योंकि पानी इतना महंगा हो गया है कि अब हम 'हवा' का भुगतान और नहीं कर सकते। अब हमें यह सुनिचित करना होगा कि दिल्ली जल बोर्ड सही प्रेशर पर पानी सप्लाई करे। इससे बिजली व पानी दोनों के बिल कम हो जाएंगे।
Thanks and Regards,

Polluting Delhi ?
I hold the Govt. responsible for all this mess of pollution all over the capital. The real cause is the unplanned increase of population only in Delhi and New Delhi and entrants of the people in Delhi has the liking for the Capital. Reason very simple the politicians have made the city totally lawless, no law is ever abided. Every year growth of Jhuggies and unapproved colonies with a promise of regularisation later on, are constructed with the connivance of the Police and the Head of Juggi cluster, who is always in touch with the politician. This unprecedented growth is main cause of high rise pollution, the jhuggies dwellers are bent upon in cutting trees around the surrounding without any fear, creating unhygienic condition in and around their dwellings, defacing in the open and using free water and electricity. They have become used to it, because of the Vote Bank politics. It needs to be stopped or modified and the officials responsible should be taken to task. Strict discipline need to be enforced and growth of population to be checked.

Citizens of Delhi are suffering !
Vohraji i agree with your well thought out views in this blog. Elections for Delhi assembly elections should have been declared long ago. By not doing so citizens of Delhi are suffering as development work is held up. Who is responsible? Earlier it was UPA and now BJP SHOULD NOT DELAY ACTION ANY MORE.
