Subject: Water scarcity due to irregular supply of water.

Sir,

Through the columns of your esteemed national newspaper, I would like to express my concern on the crisis of water scarcity in Bhikaji Cama Palace, in New Delhi, Delhi due to irregular supply of water.

In spite of several representations, I am surprised that nothing has been done till date to supply regular water supply to the locality of Kailash Colony. Due to this the people of this locality are facing much hardship.

I therefore request the Municipal Corporation and the authorities to look into the matter immediately and restore regular supply of water to this locality at the earliest.

Yours sincerely,

NIRMALA
