Advisory for affected regions

The Delhi Jal Board has issued an advisory for residents in several areas where water supply will be temporarily disrupted due to planned maintenance work. The DJB emphasised the importance of using water judiciously during this period, urging residents to prepare by storing sufficient water in advance to avoid inconvenience. The maintenance shutdown is likely to affect daily routines, with the potential to disrupt water availability for households and businesses.

Residents are requested to stay updated on the situation and take necessary precautions, such as storing water in advance, to minimise the impact of the supply disruption, the DJB added.
