We would like to highlight 5 extremely important issues. We seek your help and intervention in resolving these issues that lead us to a better quality of life.

1. Water Crisis

* Dwarka’s population is over 6 lacs, While NDMC have 3 lacs

Dwarka Demands:
– CM of NCT Delhi and Chairman of DJB order to increase the water supply of Dwarka by 15 MGD (68 MLD) immediately.
