Water shortage haunts Chandigarh residents

CHANDIGARH: The “no water” situation is worsening every passing day as the rising temperature tightens its grip on the city. And, the situation is almost similar for all, those who live on the ground floor, and those residing on the upper storey of a building. There have been several complaints of low pressure and no potable supply in the evenings.
Residents of Sector 7C and Sector 15A protested on Sunday saying the water is dirty most of the time, and the shortage had added to their troubles. They said the municipal corporation could not implement the tertiary water supply project in the city, despite many complaints.
The worst-affected sectors include sectors 11, 12, 15, 16, 19, 21, 26, 28, 38, 40, 42, 43, 44, 45 and Sector 51. Pawan Kumar of Sector 11B said he never came across such water crisis till now. For Shikha Negi of Sector 43B: “There is hardly any drinking water, what to talk of bathing. It gets difficult to even go out for work daily.”
