It is a grave situation when so many people are crying for water some areas have precious water flowing down the drains. Deputy engineer of Satranjipura zone was aware of the problem but did not take action due to old pipes. As sealing these small leakage would lead to the bursting of rusted water pipes. The water was allowed to drain to keep the water pressure down and under control.
