Gurgaon residents worried over groundwater depletion
The Punjab and Haryana high court on Monday stopped issuing new licenses to developers in Gurgaon, because of the depleting groundwater situation, which has come as a relief to the residents in the area as they have been facing severe water crisis.
Most of the Gurgaon is dependent on groundwater and more than 60 MGD (million gallons daily) is being used by the builders for construction works daily which results in huge loss of water, said Rathi, president of Gurgaon citizen council.
The court order would certainly help in improving the groundwater situation, he added.
A real estate agent said the order will lead to panic among potential customers interested in high-rise buildings in the area as people don’t prefer to invest in controversial projects.
