A parallel Rs 12.73 crore initiative focuses on inclusivity by providing individual piped water connections to 9,386 households across 32 JJ clusters in the NDMC jurisdiction. To ensure efficient execution, the work has been divided into three geographical categories. Construction in two areas is slated to begin by March 2025, with plans for the third category under development.
To address water scarcity and meet demand during peak summer months, NDMC also announced the construction of two underground water storage units at Navyug School in Sarojini Nagar and Talkatora Cricket Ground.
