LUCKNOW City residents are faced with a double whammy — to bear the sweltering heat with intermittent power cuts and to deal with water shortage due to frequent outages. As a consequence, residents of several localities are forced to stay up till late as the water supply comes in full force only during the night, hence, making it an optimal time to fill household water tanks.
According to Jal Sansthan officials, power cuts in the range of 1-10 hours are behind the irregular water supply in the state capital. In this backdrop, Jal Sansthan officials have been demanding a separate feeder for water supply. However, their demand has not been met because tubewells in several rural areas of the city make it difficult to create a feeder.
