Speaking about the inadequate supply of water tankers, Gajendra Pratap Singh, another local, said, “The tanker comes to our area, but it is only half full because the other half needs to be delivered somewhere else, and this For half, we stand in line since morning." Morning."
The frustration is palpable among residents, who jostle for their share as the tanker arrives.
Expressing concern about the problems faced by them, Neelam, another local, said, “We don’t even have water to drink.Every day, people are struggling for water and thousands are waiting in line for three to four hours, but the demand has been met."
“Many of them do not get water even after standing in queues with pipes and buckets,” he said.

We are facing water supply crisis, not even getting tanker to survive. It is very painful.We regularly call the concerned personnel of DJB, but they are not listening.

However, the demand for water has increased while the supply from neighboring states has decreased. We must solve this together." BJP protests It will not help.
