Summary:
New Delhi, June 2Residents of slum areas of Punjabi Bagh in West Delhi on Sunday protested at Jantar Mantar against water crisis that they have been facing for the past more than six months. Residents of four camps — Mahatma Gandhi, Deen Dayal Upadhayay, Rajiv Gandhi and Laxmi — of the Jhuggi Jhopadi (JJ) cluster areas are facing water crisis. “There is only one water tanker for around 400 to 500 households in every camp. Moreover, when the tanker comes in the morning, most of the residents are on job and fail to get water,” he said. When asked, the MLA said there was no provision of direct water connection to every household in slum areas..
