Taps Run Dry In Besa Housing Society For Past 7 Days Residents of the Besa Housing Society near Besa-Pipla Road in Nagpur have faced a severe water crisis for the past seven days, marking the fourth such disruption in just two months. The prolonged absence of water has left families struggling to cope with extreme summer temperatures that have soared to 44°C. Without access to municipal supply, households have resorted to hiring private water tankers, with nearly 37 to 38 tankers arranged within a week at a cost of Rs1,300 to Rs1,500 each. The financial burden has intensified residents’ distress, especially as they continue to pay regular taxes despite repeated failures in service delivery. Many households have implemented strict water rationing measures, cutting back on essential usage and adjusting daily routines to conserve resources. In some cases, families have crowded into single rooms to operate a single cooler for limited hours, aiming to reduce both water and electricity consumption. Residents attribute the recurring water shortages to ongoing road construction work in the area, which they claim has frequently damaged underground pipelines. The lack of proper pipeline blueprints has exacerbated the problem, leading to accidental breakages and prolonged disruptions. Dhananjay Bhoyar, a resident, highlighted the challenges, stating that pipeline damage in nearby areas often results in water supply being diverted, leaving their community without access for days. “We only realize the extent of the problem after making repeated calls. For the past week, we’ve had to arrange tankers ourselves. Despite urging everyone to conserve water, the situation has become extremely difficult.#nagpur #public_works_department #mukesh_kale #besa_housing_society #dhananjay_bhoyar
