Noida Nurseries Drain Water Supply
6 Apr
Summary
- Unauthorised borewell allegedly used for commercial purposes.
- Nursery encroachments threaten water supply for 20,000 residents.
- Residents seek Noida Authority intervention against water misuse.
Residents in Noida's Sector 78 have lodged a formal complaint with the Noida Authority CEO regarding an alleged unauthorised borewell pump operating for commercial purposes near Sector 101 metro station. The complaint highlights the presence of several unauthorised nurseries that are purportedly occupying public land and illegally extracting groundwater.
This unauthorised activity is seen as a significant threat to the water supply of local housing societies, potentially worsening an already critical situation as summer temperatures increase. One resident noted that the encroachment impacts over 20,000 individuals, with the nurseries diverting water crucial for residential use.
Residents are urging the Authority to conduct inspections, dismantle illegal structures, and enforce stringent penalties against those misusing water resources. They emphasize the urgent need for intervention to ensure equitable water distribution before the crisis deepens during the hotter months.
