Residents in these sectors alleged that three of the four pumping machines in the boosting station haven’t been working, leading to recurring water shortage in these sectors.
"Over the last 10 days, there has been a shortage of water supply.
"We have been facing water scarcity for almost 10 days now, and hardly get water for at least 30 minutes a day.
On some days, the supply gets affected owing to erratic power supply, and on days when power is not interrupted, water supply gets affected," said Sanjay Luthra, a resident from Sector 5.The residents also complained that the water pipelines in their area burst almost every month as officials fail to upgrade the capacity of the pipelines to avoid such situations, especially during summer.
