Refusal is accompanied by threats and intimidation
3 months ago
Upon moving into my flat on the 3rd floor, I discovered that there is a tubewell/borewell in the vicinity, and everyone residing before me has a water connection from this source. Regrettably, despite my sincere efforts, the
15-20 existing residents are adamantly refusing to allow me access to this water connection. Shockingly, their refusal is accompanied by threats and intimidation.
I believe that access to water is a basic necessity and should be extended to all residents without discrimination. The hostile environment created by the existing residents is not only unwarranted but also goes against the principles of communal living. What action I can take against them I am living with my wife and a 7 year old child, even police and Delhi Jal board employees supporting them.
Facing denial of water access from existing residents despite it being a basic necessity is indeed a challenging situation. To address this issue, you may consider taking the following steps: Firstly, document the incidents, threats, and intimidation you've faced. Consult with a local lawyer who specializes in property or housing matters to understand your legal rights and options. Simultaneously, file a written complaint with the local police detailing the threats and intimidation you've experienced. If Delhi Jal Board employees are involved, escalate the matter to higher authorities within the board, presenting your case and emphasizing the need for fair access to water. Additionally, explore the possibility of involving local community or social organizations that may mediate and encourage a resolution. Remember, addressing such issues may take time, and legal processes can be intricate, so seeking professional advice is crucial to navigate this challenging situation effectively.
