What did the water supply board say?
According to the DJB, the water supply will be completely cut off or will be available at low pressure on Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning.

The areas to be affected by the disruption include North East Delhi, Karawal Nagar, Sonia Vihar, Tahirpur, Dilshad Garden, Yamuna Vihar, Nand Nagari, Ghonda, Shiv Vihar, Harsh Vihar, Dilshad Colony, Janta Flats, and Seemapuri and its adjacent areas.
