The cooperative group housing societies (CGHS) of East Delhi are likely to receive notices on their pending water bills from the Delhi Jal Board (DJB). A senior officer from the DJB's Mayur Vihar office informed City Spidey that a meeting in this regard was held today. Delhi News
“Meetings are being conducted across the DJB zonal offices of East Delhi. We are in the process of sending notices to the housing societies that have water bills over Rs 10,000,” the officer said. “This process has been initiated at the behest of the Delhi government,” he added.
When City Spidey asked the DJB officer if booster pumps would be banned in East Delhi as well, he answered in the negative.
Sunil Kumar, zonal revenue officer (ZRO), DJB office of Mayur Vihar Phase I, said, “We are not issuing any notices on booster pumps. East Delhi’s societies were established around three decades back when borewells were the only source of water.”
