Clear air on tanker mafia, Delhi HC tells DDA

NEW DELHI: The Delhi high court on Thursday ordered DDA to come clean on allegations that the agency is aiding the tanker mafia by illegally selling water from borewells in Dwarka. Residents of the area complained to court of inadequate water supply and how, despite commissioning of 10 additional borewells by Delhi Development Authority, consumers still suffer from water shortage.

A bench of justices B D Ahmed and Siddharth Mridul asked the agency to measure the volume of water it is supplying to Dwarka residents and furnish a report. The court said there is lack of clarity in this respect. The bench took a serious view of the allegations and directed installation of flow meters in the main command tanks, which are getting water from the tubewells.

"Eight borewells have been connected to command tank 4 in Sector 20. Two other borewells are connected to command tank 2 in Sector 12. Only rough estimates have been suggested regarding supply. We feel water collected in these tanks should be metered and amount of supply indicated," the court directed after hearing the petitioner. The court clarified that measurement conducted by DDA must be "by flow meters and not by height". "When there is scientific equipment available, why don't you use it?" said the bench. DDA assured it will increase number of tankers supplying the EPDP CGHS society from three to five.
