Residents of Kunwar Singh Colony in West Delhi were forced to live with toxic, contaminated water entering their homes—water they drank, cooked with, and bathed their children in. Despite repeated complaints, authorities failed to act. India Today reported from the ground, documenting residents’ suffering and exposing the scale of the problem. Following the coverage, the Delhi government began replacing decades-old pipelines with new ones. Today, clean water has started reaching homes, bringing relief to residents. The report underscores how accountability and sustained media pressure can help secure basic rights.
