Greater Noida : Amid rising temperatures and scorching summer heat, a thoughtful initiative at Pari Chowk is bringing much-needed relief to thousands of commuters and travelers. The Active Citizens Team has set up a public water booth at the busy roundabout, arranging three earthen pots filled with chilled drinking water for passersby.

Pari Chowk, one of Greater Noida’s busiest and most important junctions, witnesses heavy footfall every day from office-goers, students, transport workers and travellers coming from nearby districts. In such extreme weather conditions, access to clean and cold drinking water becomes an essential public service.

Recognising this need, members of the Active Citizens Team launched the initiative to ensure that no commuter suffers due to dehydration during peak summer hours. Under the arrangement, the earthen pots will be refilled daily using nearly 30 to 35 water bottles of 20 litres each, ensuring a continuous supply of cool drinking water throughout the day.

The team members are also personally monitoring the cleanliness and maintenance of the facility to ensure safe and hygienic drinking water for everyone using the service.

Citizens come together for a noble cause

The initiative has been supported by social workers Manoj Singhal, Manjeet Singh, Manoj Garg, T P Singh and Harindra Bhati, who have collectively taken responsibility for operating the water booth regularly during the summer season.

Speaking about the effort, Active Citizens Team member Harinder Bhati said that providing drinking water during such harsh weather is a meaningful way to support residents and travellers.

“During this difficult summer, the water booth is proving to be a major relief for people. Our effort is to ensure that no passerby remains thirsty. In the coming days, we are planning to start similar arrangements at other busy locations as well.

A message of humanity and social responsibility

The initiative reflects the spirit of social unity, cooperation and public service. At a time when temperatures continue to rise across the NCR region, such community-driven efforts highlight the importance of civic participation and compassion.

Residents passing through Pari Chowk have appreciated the gesture, calling it a simple yet impactful effort that promotes humanity and encourages others to contribute towards public welfare during extreme weather conditions.
