Delhi Faces 15-Day Water Crisis: DJB Issues Alert for Severe Cuts

• Delhi Jal Board (DJB) has issued an alert for severe water cuts across Delhi until February 4, 2026, due to maintenance work in Haryana.
• Haryana's closure of the Parallel Delhi Branch for annual maintenance has significantly reduced raw water supply to Wazirabad and other main canals.
• Water Treatment Plants (WTPs) like Haiderpur, Bawana, Dwarka, and Nangloi are operating at reduced capacity, leading to widespread scarcity.
• Areas including Pitampura, Rohini, Janakpuri, Dwarka sub-city, IGI Airport, Bawana Industrial Area, Rajouri Garden, and Vasant Vihar will be severely affected.
• Citizens are advised to use water judiciously; free water tankers can be requested by calling 1916 or 011-23527679.

Why It Matters: Delhi is grappling with a severe 15-day water crisis due to reduced supply from Haryana, impacting major WTPs.
