Despite being one of the most expensive cities to live in, Gurgaon's residents are often left high and dry when it comes to civic amenities.
What will boggle your mind even more is that when long-awaited solutions are finally made available, no one wants them anymore.
Whoa! What Just Happened?For the last several years, over 30,000 families living across 18 new sectors of Gurgaon have been demanding clean, piped water supply.
However, since a new piped water supply began this August as per residents' demands, developers of only 25 of the 56 affected housing projects along the Dwarka Expressway have applied for this water connection.
The rest are still either drawing groundwater or supplying potable water via tankers, costing residents a lot of money.
Next Step?
Gurgaon is already in the dark zone and illegal groundwater extraction, which is highly detrimental to the fragile environment, needs to stop immediately.
All help to secure the connection is promised by the DTCP and so is the guarantee of penal action in case of evasion.
An Offer You Can't Refuse
Praveen Malik, vice-president of the United Association of New Gurugram said to the press, “There is a nexus between some builders and the tanker mafia, which is why they are deliberately not taking water connection from the GMDA."
