Residents Report Water Contamination Issues in Delhi's Gulmohar Park and Gurugram's Sector 31PreviousNext

Residents in South Delhi's Gulmohar Park and Gurugram's Sector 31 have reported foul-smelling, discolored, and muddy water supplies over recent days, raising health concerns. In Gulmohar Park, contamination was linked to illegal toilets and old pipelines, prompting repair efforts by the Delhi Jal Board. In Gurugram, muddy water issues followed a municipal notice about underground tank cleaning, though officials stated tanks in the affected colony were not yet cleaned. Both areas continue to seek resolution amid ongoing complaints.
