Jaipur: Around 150 families in Sector 120 on Vijay Path in Mansarovar have been grappling with low water pressure from the Bisalpur pipeline for nearly a month, leaving many households dependent on private water tankers. Residents said the supply is too weak to fill overhead tanks, forcing them to buy tankers every two or three days at a cost of Rs 300-350 each. They plan to submit a memorandum Monday to the Chief Minister’s Office (CMO).Residents suspect the problem began after the diversion of a Bisalpur pipeline, though there has been no official confirmation. They alleged that despite repeated complaints, the Public Health Engineering Department (PHED) neither inspected the area nor arranged alternative water tankers.“We have been facing low water pressure for the past month. We complained to the department several times, but no official has visited the area to inspect the problem. This is the CM’s constituency, yet residents are still waiting for a solution,” said Radheshyam Upadhyay, a member of the Sector 120 Vikas Samiti.Seema Mangal, a local resident, said, “Buying a water tanker every two or three days has become a necessity. Spending Rs 300 to Rs 350 each time is adding financial burden on many families.”Mahesh Agrawal, another resident, said, “The biggest disappointment is that no official has visited the area despite repeated complaints. We now have no option but to take our grievance to the CMO.”Residents said they only want a regular water supply and hope the issue is resolved soon so they no longer have to rely on costly private tankers.
