Gomti Mattu, Secretary of All Dwarka Resident Federation (ADRF) and a resident of the pocket say that the officials are not paying heed to the issue while people are suffering. “We have approached almost all the higher officials, from DJB to Delhi Administration and even CM office, but still the problem hasn't been resolved”, says she.
As informed by Prakash Singh, about five months back, all the ferrules were changed by DJB but even that didn't resolve the problem. Residents are now taking it to social media to highlight the issue.
On the subject, one of the DJB officials, on the condition of anonymity has confirmed to check the issue and do the needful.
