Delhi Govt Flags Off GPS-Enabled Water Tankers

New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, along with her Cabinet, flagged off 1,111 GPS-enabled water tankers on Sunday to address the pressing water needs of the national capital as temperatures rise. The event, held at Nirankari Ground in Burari, marks a significant step towards improving water supply, especially in areas with no or limited access to piped water.

The Delhi Jal Board, which is overseeing the initiative, stated that a newly established Command Centre at Nirankari Ground will monitor the real-time movement, speed, and delivery of all 1,111 tankers.

This monitoring system will ensure that water reaches the intended destinations promptly and efficiently. This project is part of the Delhi Jal Board's broader initiative to modernise the city's water infrastructure. In addition to improving access to water, the Board aims to crack down on water theft, misuse, and uneven distribution through strict monitoring and transparent delivery systems.
