Taking
the Delhi Government to task, North Delhi Municipal Corporation’s Leader of the
House Mahender Nagpal on Thursday said that the agreement signed between the
Delhi Jal Board and a Singapore-based company to purify water confirms that the
water supplied is contaminated.
Mr.
Nagpal said under this agreement there is a plan to install water treatment
plants to purify contaminated water. This is an indication that the DJB is
supplying contaminated water to the residents, he said, adding that the Public
Health Department has advised the DJB to rectify and improve the quality of
water supplied following a report of the Corporation’s Public Health Department
which found that out of 258 water samples 129 were unfit for consumption.
Mr.
Nagpal said DJB collect samples only from those colonies from where water
supply is better, whereas the civic body collects samples from areas all over
its jurisdiction.
He
said that the Delhi Government should accept the report of samples provided by
the Corporation as an eye-opener.
