The Dwarka Forum - a collective of residents from residential complexes and the Dwarka Kshetra Gram (DKGK), a group of 20 villages have asked the DDA to put on hold its expansion plans, keeping in mind the depleting water table and shrinking water sources. These residents have joined forces to oppose Delhi government’s move to add five new townships to the city. "Dwarka does not even get half of the water that it should. Villages around Dwarka are dependent on tube-well water. There is no piped-water from the Delhi Jal Board for them and they are forced to use unfit tube-well water. It is impractical to increase the city limits," said Mr. Diwan Singh, a member of the Dwarka Forum.
