NEW DELHI: Several areas across the Capital saw water supply disruptions on Wednesday amid interconnection works in the city’s water supply lines.
The affected areas in the city will continue to witness such water supply cuts till 11 am on February 27. According to the Delhi Jal Board, the water supply will remain unavailable from 11 am on February 25 till 11 am on February 27.
The interconnection work on the city’s water supply lines is currently under way, causing the inconvenience, the DJB stated. “Inconvenience caused to the public is regretted,” the water supply board said in a statement.
