Water shortage continues in Noida, relief expected by Friday

1 2 3 Noida: The ongoing water crisis in Noida entered its fourth day on Thursday, with several sectors grappling with dry taps following the shutdown of the Ganga water supply due to pipeline repairs. Officials have said the supply will likely resume by Friday. Water supply has been disrupted in Sectors 105, 31, 71, 119 and nearby areas, affecting thousands of residents. In Sector 105 and its adjoining localities such as Sector 108, HIG, and Judge Colony, around 10,000 people are facing an acute drinking water shortage. "The supply of drinking water has been disrupted since June 9 due to the Ganga water shutdown by the Noida Authority. Residents are forced to buy potable water from outside, and water motors have been damaged due to dry pipelines," said Divya Krishnatreya, RWA president of Sector 105. RP Singh, deputy general manager of the Water and Sewer Department at Noida Authority, said repair work is underway. "A major pipeline breakdown occurred on Sunday. Normal supply will resume from Friday. In the meantime, we are managing supply with available groundwater resources. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Mensualités: Bonne nouvelle pour les propriétaires étouffés par les crédits Bons plans propriétaires En savoir plus Undo Residents in need can request tankers," he said. However, residents say the backup arrangements have been inadequate. In Sector 71, residents reported no tanker supply despite repeated requests. "There's no water, and power cuts have made it worse. Despite repeated calls, no one responded. Not a single tanker arrived," said Pradeep Mishra, RWA general secretary of Metro Apartment. In Sector 31, resident Praveen Singh urged officials to provide immediate relief. Sector 77, part of the densely populated 7X belt, also faced severe shortages. "We bought flats here for a better lifestyle, but every year we face basic issues like water and electricity," said Sunita Singh, a resident. Frustration is mounting across Noida over recurring supply issues. "Why does Noida face clean water shortages year after year? If the supply can be stopped for weeks in the name of maintenance, what's the point of development?" asked Prashant Tyagi Vats, a resident of Sector 105. Several RWAs said the situation should be escalated to the state government for a lasting solution. "Despite our contacts up to Lucknow, we're still struggling, especially in this heat," said OP Yadav, RWA president of Arawali Apartments, Sector 52. The crisis has underlined the city's fragile infrastructure and rising demand for uninterrupted basic services. Follow more information on Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad here .
