The ambitious Rs 75-crore 24×7 water supply project launched in Manimajra last year is now facing serious allegations of mismanagement and financial irregularities.

With mounting public complaints about poor water quality and erratic supply, and political parties trading charges, the matter has snowballed into a full-blown controversy, with now the Vigilance Bureau and the Chandigarh Human Rights Commission probing the incident.

The project, inaugurated by Union Home Minister Amit Shah on August 4, 2024, was hailed as a pilot initiative under the Smart Cities Mission to provide uninterrupted, pressurised water supply to Manimajra residents. However, nearly a year later, residents allege that the water supply has never functioned 24×7 and that they continue to receive muddy and low-pressure water.
