In Janakpuri, a locality in West Delhi, residents are grappling with severe water quality issues, as taps release foul-smelling, sewage-like water. Vimla Arora, an 86-year-old resident, has endured this problem for the past six to seven months, forcing her to rely on bottled water for drinking and cooking. The situation has become unbearable, with residents reporting health issues such as typhoid and jaundice. Despite filing over a dozen complaints to local authorities, the residents have seen little improvement. The Delhi Jal Board (DJB) has acknowledged the issue, attributing it to a sewer line in a surcharge condition, and has initiated replacement work. However, residents remain skeptical about the effectiveness of these measures, as they continue to rely on bottled water amidst ongoing contamination concerns.
