On April 9, the Delhi Jal Board (DJB) issued an advisory alerting residents of New Delhi about fraudulent calls and messages threatening disconnection of water services unless immediate payments are made. The DJB, responsible for supplying water to approximately 2.9 million registered customers, emphasized that these communications are unauthorized and intended to extort money. The Board clarified that all official communication is conducted through written notices or verified digital channels, and residents should not engage with suspicious calls or messages. They are advised to refrain from sharing personal or financial information and to report any such incidents to the cybercrime helpline at 1930 or via the official website. This advisory aims to protect residents from scams that exploit their concerns about water service continuity.
