People discussing in the readers panel organized by Dainik Jagran in the office of Okhla under the concern of healthy society. Awakening
Jagran correspondent, South Delhi. The societies have five to six decade old sewer and drinking water lines. Over the years, population pressure has increased manifold, while the capacity of pipelines has not been increased. We live in famous areas, but we don't even get clean drinking water. The situation will improve if accountability is fixed for redressal of complaints. These things were said by the readers of New Delhi and South Delhi in the reader panel organized at Dainik Jagran's Okhla office under the 'Every drop should be clean, every sip should be healthy' campaign being run by Dainik Jagran.
In the reader panel, Arun Jaggi of New Friends Colony said that sewer lines are jammed, commercial vehicles and illegal parking are a security threat. E-rickshaws roam freely without license. Despite living in a famous area and paying heavy taxes, they are deprived of basic facilities.
Pawan Sharma from East of Kailash said that independence has been achieved but people have not been freed from the web of problems. Keep making rounds with the concerned departments and public representatives with complaints, there is no solution.
Rakesh Dabas from Saket said that narcotics are being sold openly outside schools. The footpaths are occupied by street vendors. Ajay Veer Yadav said that efforts should be made to supply clean water in schools. Rishipal Mahasaya from Fatehpur Beri said, what would be the worse situation if water board water does not reach even the government offices.
GL Verma said that the population has increased 10 times since the pipeline was laid 50 years ago. That is why tanker mafia is flourishing. Sandeep Bidhuri said that despite paying bills worth thousands, even water is not available. Dhir Singh sir said that there is no drainage in the area.
Mahavir Pradhan, who came from Maidangarhi, said that water had started coming after the installation of booster years ago. By doing illegal construction, the builders have made so many connections on the pipeline that the water does not reach further. Vinay Gupta said that the problem of water in Sangam Vihar is severe. Manoj and Vivek said that efforts should be made to improve basic facilities.
