उप्र: गाजियाबाद-नोएडा में आज रात से गंगाजल सप्लाई का संकट, लाखों लोगों तक नहीं पहुंचेगा पानी
Ganga water supply will be disrupted in Ghaziabad and Noida of Uttar Pradesh from today. Due to this, water will not reach lakhs of people and people will have to face problems. Water supply in Ganganahar coming from Haridwar will be stopped from today. However, in both Ghaziabad and Noida, local authorities have claimed that they will not allow supply disruption.
Ganganahar will be closed on the night of 24th October. Cleaning work will take place for about 18 days. Then this canal will be operational on 12th November. Ganga water plant is installed in Pratap Vihar, Ghaziabad. From here, 100 cusec water is supplied to Noida and 50 cusec water to various parts of Ghaziabad through pipeline. There will be no supply of this water while the canal is closed. Canal cleaning is a routine process every year. In this, all the machines and regulators connected to the canal are cleaned, so that the flow of water remains maintained.
Out of 50 cusecs of Ghaziabad, 15 cusecs is supplied to Indirapuram, 5 cusecs to Siddharth Vihar, 23 cusecs to Vasundhara zone and 7 cusecs of water is supplied to Indirapuram areas. In Ghaziabad, there are 125 tube wells of Municipal Corporation and 26 of Ghaziabad Development Authority. Water will be supplied from these once a day.
Apart from this, both the authorities have some tankers, they will also be deployed in water supply. If we talk about Noida, 240 MLD Ganga water is used to meet the requirement of 400 MLD of Noida. On normal days, about 200 MLD of Ganga water is available. In such a situation, 200 MLD is supplied from ground water. Even after running the tube at full capacity, there will be a shortage of about 60 MLD water due to non-supply of Ganga water. Noida Authority has also issued numbers for this on which people can call and get a tanker.
