A Noida resident has raised serious concerns about the deteriorating water quality in the city, sparking a heated discussion on social media. The individual, who goes by the username @iAsura on X, shared a shocking image of a residential Reverse Osmosis (RO) water filter that had become completely clogged with sediment just three months after installation. The post, shared on August 11, has since garnered over 200,000 views, drawing widespread attention to the potential health hazards posed by the city’s drinking water.
In the post, the resident expressed his alarm, writing, “Three months old RO filter in Noida. Hell is right here.” The accompanying image shows a man holding the filter, which is heavily encrusted with a thick layer of impurities, underscoring the severity of the issue.
The post quickly sparked a conversation among concerned citizens, with many sharing their own experiences and thoughts on the matter. One user inquired about the type of filter shown in the image, to which the original poster responded, “LG RO.” Another user noted that sediment buildup is common during the monsoon season, regardless of location, adding, “I have installed 2 pre-filters. I replace or clean them every month in monsoon.”
The discussion also highlighted broader concerns about environmental degradation in Noida. “Scary. Pollution crossed all limits,” commented one user, while another remarked, “With the rapid construction in Noida and Noida Extension, water as well as air quality is getting worse each day. And traffic!”
The post has amplified concerns about the safety and quality of essential resources in Noida, with one user questioning the overall living conditions in the National Capital Region (NCR). “Give me one good reason why one should live in NCR, pay crores for house/flat, suffer with extreme rain and floods, cold, breathing air pollution, stomach-churning water pollution, nose-clogging garbage piles on the streets and overall being in an unsafe environment,” they wrote.
