Stagnant pools of water, overflowing drains, garbage piling up on street sides, stunted children and dazed adults yet to reconcile with the exodus forced on them in 2004 — these are common sights at the Bawana J. J. Colony, seven years after several thousand families were resettled in this far corner of North-West Delhi from Yamuna Pushta, R. K. Puram and Vasant Vihar.

Zahida and Inaam, residents of Bawana resettlement colony describe the water and sanitation facilities available in their colony.
