New Delhi: The Delhi Jal Board said that the supply of water might get affected in parts of the India capital in the coming days due to reduced flow from Upper Ganga Canal caused by closure for annual maintenance.

The water level of Yamuna river is also less this year, according to the board.

The board said the flow in both conduits Sonia Vihar and Bhagirathi plants are also for a second year in a row, therefore, “the production of Bhagirathi and Sonia Vihar Plants may get affected to which clear water will be available at low pressure for few days.”

“The areas likely to be affected are parts of South Delhi, East Delhi, North East Delhi and part of NDMC areas,” it said, cautioning the public to make judicious use of water.

The board has also released a set of helpline numbers for the public to contact for water tankers.
