Shortage of drinking water in Darjeeling Town has been felt for the past thirty (30) years or more. In order to solve the problem schemes like Sindhap Lake, Bangla Khola, Initial scheme for Rambi water tapping of springs at different locations were carried out in the past, but the problem remained unsolved.
