AAP protest at Delhi Jal Board
Anyone know what was the objective?
New Delhi: There are massive traffic jams in South Delhi today due to a protest by workers of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) at the Delhi Jal Board office.
Around 300 people are protesting at the Jal Board's office which is located near the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) corridor near Greater Kailash-1 - one of the busiest roads in South Delhi. Protesting since 9 am, they are demanding proper water lines in some of the unauthorised colonies of south Delhi.
Due to the demonstrations, the Delhi Traffic Police has enforced traffic diversions. All cars from the Siri Fort BRT crossing have been diverted towards Greater Kailash and Siri Fort road. They are not being allowed to ply on the BRT corridor towards the Delhi Jal Board office.
Vehicles coming from the Moolchand Crossing towards Chirag Delhi have been diverted towards Andrews Ganj.
The diversions have resulted in traffic around the area taking a big hit. Defence Colony to Greater Kailash 1 - a distance of about two kilometres that takes about five minutes to cover - is today taking over an hour to commute.
Traffic at nearby roads from Andrews Ganj to Chirag Delhi is also caught up in bumper-to-bumper traffic. more

We at Darling Enclave ate having major water crisis since two months andwe have to get fwater from private tankers by passing a large amount of money. The water from tanks was hygienic and I suffered a major attack of gastroenteritis and had to be admitted in my own nursing home. In Humayunpur area of Dachshund Enclave where my nursing home is, there is enough water but the jal board people don't come and check the metres. My portion had to go to the office of jal board for Bill and they presented us with an incredulously high Bill after one and half years. So it will be in the interest of the public of there are frequent protests at the jal board office. more
