Bhalaswa colony residents complain of ‘polluted’ water

Residents of north-west Delhi’s Bhalaswa resettlement colony have complained about the supply of contaminated water by Delhi Jal Board (DJB) and claimed it has caused various water-borne diseases in the area.

NGO Bhalaswa Lok Shakti Maanch (BLSM) said it had carried out laboratory testing of drinking water in the area and found a high concentration of fluoride in it. 

When contacted, DJB said it has taken up the matter with the Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board (DUSIB) as the maintenance of pipelines was under it.
