With the help of this kit, DJB officials will be able to easily and quickly trace the source of contamination of supply water in any area. This will help officials fix the problem and ensure that the supply of clean drinking water is restored, he added.

Bharti said the top priority of the authorities should be to eliminate the problem of contaminated water supply in some parts of Delhi and bring down such complaints to zero.

Along with tracking the problem or complaint through the identification kit, real-time monitoring of the status of the problem or complaints can also be done with the help of Google Maps and other similar software.

The process of procuring more than 200 identification kits will start soon and these kits will be provided to all junior engineers of the DJB, Bharti said.
