Officials said most complaints were received from Sectors 22, 38 (West) 44, 45 and some southern areas. Residents of Sector 25 said they were not getting proper water supply for the past three days. JS Gogia, general secretary, Federation of Sector Welfare Associations of Chandigarh, said, “We have been hearing about 24-hour supply for long, but we are not even getting limited supply of water twice a day. The Kajauli waterworks are frequently under repair.”

Though the low pressure water supply was scheduled for Sunday and Monday, officials said it appeared that the situation might not be normal even on Tuesday. They said due to a fault in the pumping machinery of the Kajauli waterworks, Phase 1 and 2, the city had received less water. According to the MC, the water was to be supplied at low pressure from 5 am to 8 am and 6 pm to 8.30 pm for two days. However, those living on upper floors said they were not getting water at all.
