Delhi's Water Crisis Continues | Sewage Contaminates Tap Water in Kumar Singh Colony

This India Today special report features Shreya Dhoundial investigating the severe water contamination crisis in West Delhi’s Kumar Singh colony. Following an exposé on the 'Delhi water menace', the Delhi government seems to have swung into action, with BJP leader Harish Khurana stating that 'pipelines in the locality will be changed soon' to address the infrastructure failure. However, Shreya Dhoundial highlights a significant disconnect between official claims and the ground reality. She notes that urban planning failures, particularly the lack of coordination between the Delhi Jal Board and gas pipeline departments, lead to frequent breakages where sewage water gets mixed. Dhoundial emphasizes that 'it's not an old story' but an 'everyday issue' across the national capital, where residents are being forced to drink contaminated water for months. The programme describes the situation as a fundamental 'fight for basics' in India. India Today continues its reality check to hold local representatives accountable for the quality of essential services in Delhi.
