Delhi: Why there will be 12-hour water cut on Friday
What's the story
The Delhi Jal Board (DJB) has announced a 12-hour-long water supply disruption in parts of the national capital on Friday. The interruption is due to maintenance work for the interconnection of a newly laid loop line in the 800mm diameter Naraina Main near Rajouri Garden Metro Station Pillar No. 415. Inder Puri, Maya Puri, Toda Pur Village, Dasghara, C-Block JJR, Naraina Village, Naraina Vihar, Krishi Kunj and Mansarovar Garden among others will be affected.
