Delhi Jal Board’s Overflowing Water Storage Tank

An overflowing Vasant Kunj, Delhi Jal Board storage and distribution water tank. This is a regular feature, specifically post 11pm at night, when a particular batch among the night-shift staff probably get drunk and go off to sleep (the probability in their getting drunk is very high, having been reported by the chowkidars several times, who have to beat the gate with their laathis to wake them up).

Thousands of litres of water, from the Tehri Dam, overflows and goes to waste by this sheer negligence and lack of concern for water conservation by these government staff.

About Neela Hauz

Neela Hauz is an 800 year old natural lake near the Nuclear Science Centre on the Aruna Asaf ali Marg (JNU Road) in New Delhi. It has been abused over the years through sheer neglect and mismanagement by the government. Now, a bridge is being constructed over the lake in preparation for the Commonwealth Games, for which nearly 60% of the lake has been filled. A group of citizens have gotten together to ensure that after the bridge is built the lake is restored to its earlier glory, and perhaps make it a heritage destination for Delhiites.
