Soiled muddy water is being supplied in many parts of the State capital. Several residents claimed that their area had been receiving filthy water supply from last one week. An onslaught of complaints about water contamination pouring in from several other areas, including Suresh Nagar of Bawadia Kalan and Bagh Umrao Dulha has caught the officials unprepared. Because of this trouble has arisen in for the residents.
Water is supplied from Narmada pipeline in Suresh Nagar of Bavadiyakalan area. Muddy water is coming from the taps in many houses here. People have also complained to the corporation officials, but there was no hearing. The residents told that there is a problem since the last seven days. Probably due to line leakage, sewage water is coming into the main line. Corporation should rectify this. At present, more than 150 people of Suresh Nagar are getting worried, people said.
The residents of Bagh Umrao Dulha, Ward-40, are also troubled by the problem of foul-smelling and muddy water. Syed Almas Ali of the area told that dirty water was supplied in the area for six days. After many struggles, the supply was restored. However, murky water is still coming in some areas. Please take this seriously and fix the problem, he said.
As per reports of the department that is responsible for operation and maintenance of water supply in the city, an average of between eight to nine complaints per day are being received that are related to water contamination. Interestingly, out of these complaints, only 50 per cent are tackled, while others remain in the pending list.
