31 Oct 2014 10:21 PM GMT
The Delhi High Court on Thursday pulled up the DDA for not complying fully with its directions to measure the amount of water being supplied to Dwarka residents.
A bench of justices Badar Durrez Ahmed and Siddharth Mridul again directed the DDA to install flow metres at each of the bore wells and at the point of inflow into the command tanks. Flow metre was also directed to be installed at the point from where water flows out from the command tank. The court said metres need to be installed at all these locations as ‘we do not want any tanker mafia to pilfer water in collusion with your (DDA) officials. We feel water is being pilfered from the bore wells,’ the court observed. It directed DDA to file an affidavit containing detailed measurements of water flowing into the command tanks in Dwarka and then being supplied to residents there, saying its latest status report was ‘not satisfactory’.
