Yes, it’s real. Behind the manicured lawns and posh villas, 500 families have been buying tanker water daily; sometimes 100 tankers in peak summer. No municipal supply since 2005. Residents say groundwater’s too muddy, TDS levels are 6x higher than safe. The Haryana Human Rights Commission just stepped in; citing Article 21. Free tankers for now, but why did it take 20 years? The builder blames ‘area-wide shortage’; residents call it a dodge. Some have sold homes. Others are done fighting. But here’s the kicker: this isn’t just about water. It’s about whose rights matter when your address is fancy but your tap is broken.
