AAP spokesperson Anurag Dhanda has launched a sharp attack on the BJP, citing severe water contamination issues in Janakpuri and questioning governance in the national capital.
Anurag Dhanda : Political attack over local conditions
Referring to the situation in the constituency of BJP leader Ashish Sood, Dhanda alleged that if such conditions persist in a minister’s own area, it raises serious concerns about overall administration. He added that a wrong electoral choice can directly impact daily life.
Residents report contaminated water
According to residents, water supplied in several blocks has turned black and foul-smelling, making it unfit for daily use. Many households have reported that even stored water develops a strong stench and cannot be used for cooking or washing.
Health concerns on the rise
Locals say the issue has gone beyond inconvenience, with several residents reporting stomach infections and skin-related problems. Elderly residents, in particular, have expressed concern over worsening health conditions due to prolonged exposure.
Long-standing issue worsens
Residents claim the problem has persisted for years but has intensified in recent months, becoming a near-daily occurrence. Complaints have reportedly been made to multiple authorities, including local representatives and officials, but a permanent solution is still awaited.
Official response and ongoing work
Officials from the Delhi Jal Board have acknowledged receiving complaints and attributed the issue to sewer overflow and infrastructure problems. Repair and replacement work is said to be underway, along with temporary measures like regular flushing.
Daily life severely impacted
Many families are now relying on purchased drinking water, increasing their daily expenses. Residents also report that contaminated water cannot be used even for plants, reflecting the severity of pollution.
The remarks by Anurag Dhanda have brought renewed political focus on civic issues in Janakpuri, with calls for urgent and lasting solutions to the crisis.
