Delhi Water Supply Disruption: Two-Day Outage in Key Areas, DJB Issues Warning

• Delhi Jal Board (DJB) warns of a two-day water supply disruption on January 9 and 10 in areas connected to the Hindu Rao Reservoir.
• The disruption is due to the annual cleaning (flushing) of reservoirs under the Chandrawal Water Works for 2025-26.
• Affected areas include Chandni Chowk, Kashmiri Gate, Civil Lines, St. Stephen's Hospital, Hindu Rao Hospital, and others.
• Additional areas like Inderpuri, Rajouri Garden, Kirti Nagar, and Punjabi Bagh will also face disruptions on Friday and Saturday due to pipeline interconnection work.
• This comes amidst concerns over contaminated water incidents and DJB's inefficient billing system, with only 40% of customers receiving bills.

Why It Matters: Delhi faces widespread water disruption for two days due to maintenance and pipeline work, alongside billing system overhaul plans.
