Sewer-Mixed Water In West Delhi | Kunwar Singh Colony Cries For Help, Officials Say ‘Paani Safe Hai’

For nearly two months, residents of Kunwar Singh Colony in West Delhi allege they have been receiving sewer-mixed water directly from Delhi Jal Board pipelines. Despite repeated complaints, visits by officials, and even evidence on the Delhi Jal Board’s own social media pages, residents say they are repeatedly told just one thing:“Paani theek hai.” India Today accessed homes where contaminated water flows straight from taps, spoke to families forced to buy bottled water daily despite soaring DJB bills, and local medical shops reporting 15 cases of waterborne illness every day. The anger deepens with revelations that 23 of 25 DJB water testing labs have lost NABL accreditation, raising serious questions about how water is being certified as “safe”.
