Shreya Chatterjee Reports: Delhi Govt Replaces Pipelines After India Today Investigation

On this Special Report, India Today highlights a significant ground impact in West Delhi’s Kunwar Singh Colony. Following an investigation by reporter Shreya Chatterjee into toxic, contaminated water supplies, the Delhi government and Delhi Jal Board (DJB) have officially begun replacing decades-old pipelines. Residents, who previously suffered from illnesses due to sewage-mixed water, expressed immense relief as clean water finally reached their homes. Shreya Chatterjee noted that 'this is what a journalist lives for, to see actual action on the ground,' while discussing the resolution with anchor Sonal. The report reveals that the contamination was caused by broken DJB lines during IGL pipeline work. While the DJB claims a 98 percent resolution rate for recent complaints, the program emphasizes the need for better coordination in urban planning to prevent such crises. The successful intervention serves as a reminder of the power of sustained public pressure and investigative journalism in securing fundamental rights for citizens.
