Mohali, May 28th

Instead of improving water supply to cope with acute bottlenecks, Mohali Municipal Corporation made strange suggestions to residents on Monday to save water. The civil service advised the residents to bathe only with buckets and not to take a shower. The contract, which was given by the mayor for the chief engineer, public health and water supply, also required Anil Kumar to use a minimum of water to wash his face, hands and feet. , The citizens also appealed to the public to wash the vegetables with a container and not use an open tap. He recommended that people use RO wastewater, water purifiers and air conditioners to clean the house and water the plants. The residents were asked to use overflow sensors in the high tanks. People were asked to water the plants late at night rather than morning and afternoon. "If you water the plants late at night, you can prevent the water from evaporating from sunlight," said the MC. Congressman Kuljit Singh Bedi opened the movement saying, "It's good to save water, and it's the responsibility of every citizen." The bureaucracy should, however, see the needs of the people and should not intervene without reason. It happens with the garbage, there is no water to use, the water tanks are empty and people do not receive supplies on the first or second floor, such suggestions are annoyances. "Executive Engineer Anil Kumar said:" Especially we do not want people to wash their cars or water factories with pipes. The others are only suggestions. Mayor Kulwant Singh said, "Yes, we have made proposals to save water, even to brush and wash clothes, people are holding the tap in their hands, and water scarcity is natural when the water level drops."

Offer under the demand

Mohali, with a population of 4.5 lakh, requires a minimum of 35 MGD drinking water, while the supply is near 17 MGD. The main source of water supply in Mohali is the Kajauli Water Plant, from where 10 MGD of water are delivered to the city. In addition, GMADA and MC treat about 105 tubular holes.
