The residents in Noida and Ghaziabad will have to face a water shortage for 20 days starting from Sunday (October 13). As per media reports, the UP Irrigation Department is going to halt the Ganga water supply as the annual maintenance work on the upper Ganga canal in Haridwar will be undertaken.
10 lakh people to get affected
The water supply disruption will affect around 10 lakh residents in Indirapuram, Vasundhara, Delta Colony and Vaishali.
