My whole locality is suffering from water scarcity of drinking water and It only supplies contaminated sewage water and the water supply timing is also from 01:00 AM to 03:00 AM.
The above-given conditions directly violate the fundamental Right to life, and the Hon'ble supreme court declared the following rights as part of Article 21:
-
Right to live with human dignity
-
right to decent environment including pollution free water and air and protection against hazardous industries
-
Right to health
-
Right against inhuman treatment
-
Right to sleep
There is a grave feasibility of a nexus between private water vendors and delhi jal board because from last four to six months this year only, we are compelled to buy potable water from these vendors.
Henceforth, I had lodged a complaint at Delhi Jal Board grievance cell i.e. 1916 with complaint number 18051901502 dated 19 May 2018 and the concerned officer is junior engineer Mr. Bittu Kumar, but no action has been taken yet.
Aggrieved from which again, I had lodged a complaint at Centralized Public Grievance Redress and Monitoring System (CPGRAMS-PGPORTAL.in) with Registration no. GNCTD/E/2018/03756 dated 9 July 2018 and the concerned officer is chief engineer Sh. Ramesh Thakur. A false statement of complaint completion was given by Zonal Engineer Mr. S K Mandal dated 21 July 2018, which I had condemned by lodging reminder at the same day. Moreover, from 21 July 2018, every day I am lodging the reminder but no action has been taken yet.
I have also lodged a complaint at the Listening post of Lt. Governor, Delhi with Registration no. 2018006642 dated 10 July 2018 and the concerned officer is chief engineer Sh. Ramesh Thakur. It is just showing "work in progress" as an interim reply but no action has been taken yet.
With reference to RTI reply ref no. DJB/F-1/SE (West)/PIO/10/2863, Information number. 7 states that "Water line from Prem Nagar UGR is being laid to provide water supply" but no action has been taken yet.
Henceforth, I have the following demands:-
-
w.r.t Right to sleep, change of water supply time to daytime with uniform minimum supply timeframe.
-
w.r.t Fundamental Right to Life, the no water issue and contamination of water supply should be resolved.
-
I need the proper grievance redressal mechanism to resolve drinking water supply in a fixed timeframe.
-
I want to appeal to take appropriate steps against the officers who are jeopardizing people and not taking any action in a given timeframe.
