Delhi's Chanakyapuri slum residents are struggling to access fresh water amid a severe heatwave. Temperatures have soared to a record 49.9°C (121°F), leaving dozens desperate for water. A single water truck delivery sparks chaos, with many missing out. Mother-of-six Poonam Shah's family may go without water today, forcing her to buy it at a costly half of her daily earnings. The Delhi government has rationed water deliveries from three to one per day, exacerbating the crisis. Residents are forced to rely on expensive alternative sources, highlighting the urgent need for a sustainable solution.
