Watch Video: Crore-Worth Flats, But Residents Queue Up For Buckets Of Water In Noida Luxury Society
Residents of a luxury housing society in Noida were seen standing in long queues to collect buckets of water after the complex reportedly faced a severe water shortage for two days. The viral video has sparked debate online over urban infrastructure and water management.
A video from a luxury residential society in Noida has gone viral on social media after residents were seen lining up on the roadside to collect buckets of water from a tanker amid an ongoing water crisis.
According to reports, the society had reportedly not received regular water supply for nearly two days, forcing residents to depend on emergency water tankers.
The viral clip shows men and women carrying buckets and containers while waiting in queues for their turn to collect water. Social media users pointed out the irony that residents living in flats reportedly worth over ₹2 crore were struggling even for basic water access.
Reports claim that the municipal corporation had initially assured residents that water supply would resume by evening. However, when the shortage continued, the society management arranged for a tanker and reportedly requested each family to take only one bucket of water.
The incident comes at a time when several cities across North India are witnessing rising temperatures and increasing pressure on water reserves. In many urban areas, groundwater levels have declined sharply due to extreme summer heat and high consumption.
The video has been viewed by lakhs of users online, with many reacting through jokes, memes and criticism.
Some users sarcastically referred to the society as a “₹1.25 crore slum,” while others shared references to the popular Bollywood film Hera Pheri and its character Baburao Ganpatrao Apte, joking about water pipeline problems shown in the movie.
Others used the incident to highlight broader concerns about urban planning, infrastructure stress and dependence on tanker water in rapidly expanding cities.
The viral footage has also triggered conversations around whether high-end residential projects are adequately prepared to handle long-term water shortages during peak summer months.
Experts have repeatedly warned that several Indian cities may face worsening water stress in coming years if groundwater depletion, population growth and climate-related heat conditions continue to intensify.
