In Panchkula, Haryana, residents are facing a severe shortage of potable water during the peak summer months, compounded by low water pressure. Local leaders, including Rakesh Aggarwal from Vikas Manch, have reported that the erratic water supply has forced many to rely on expensive tanker services. The Haryana Shehari Vikas Pradhikaran (HSVP) operates around 200 tubewells, supplying approximately 93 megaliters of water daily, which they claim meets the city's demands. However, issues arise when tubewell motors fail due to power cuts, leading to disruptions lasting several days. Residents in Sectors 2, 11, and 15 have particularly voiced their concerns, noting that upper floors often receive little to no water. HSVP has acknowledged these challenges and is working to repair damaged motors and extend water supply hours. Additionally, the repair of the Kaushalya Dam pipeline, which was severely damaged during heavy rainfall in July 2023, is expected to enhance water supply by an additional 40 megaliters per day once completed. Currently, HSVP has not begun issuing fines for water wastage, focusing instead on ensuring adequate supply.
