This is where tankers fill up to supply water to the dryer areas of southwest Delhi. At the gate that opens towards Mehrauli on Aruna Asaf Ali Marg, the water flows along the pavement. Where the pavement tapers off, DDA staff at Sanjay Van has placed a pipe to direct the water into a trail leading into the pond or pit. Staff at the forest told TOI the leakage has been on for years. But at least it's being put to use in Sanjay Van. The pond has fish and the water is used for irrigation.
Deep inside the forest one finds another leaking pipeline . Volunteers from Working With Nature said it caters to Vasant Kunj. There are at least five such points where the DJB pipeline is visible. DDA staff says these are valves from where DJB controls the pipeline.
WWN volunteers say that when the leak was not plugged for months, DDA staff at Sanjay Van helped build a channel across the mud path, channelling the water into the forest for irrigation . To keep the path dry for morning walkers, the temporary channel has been covered partially.
When contacted, DJB chief executive Debashree Mukherjee told TOI that she was not aware of the leakages from the booster station at Mehrauli and the pipeline inside Sanjay Van. "But if there is a leakage, we will check it. Also, as far as booster stations are concerned, we are revamping all of them across Delhi. The tankers will have sensors to ensure that the gaps are plugged. The new system will be in place in about a month's time. This way, we hope to deal with the problem of leakages and misuse."
