Gurgaon Faces Water Crisis After WTP Leak
There was a big leak at a water treatment plant in Gurgaon, which supplies a lot of the city's water.
Even though the leak was fixed, many people in Gurgaon are still having trouble getting enough water.
Some areas don't have any water at all, while others have very little.
People are having to pay a lot of money for water tankers to help them out.
The plant usually gives 400 million litres of water every day, but the city needs about 700 million litres, so this is a big problem.

Repairs completed, but residents still face water shortages or low pressure.
