In a recent development, Delhi Water Minister Atishi expressed her dismay and disappointment over the vandalization of a Delhi Jal Board office in south Delhi by BJP workers. She accused them of conspiring against the residents of the national capital, stating that the saffron party is leaving no stone unturned to cause trouble for the people of Delhi.
Addressing the media in a press conference, Atishi highlighted that the BJP leaders and workers have been resorting to such disruptive actions amidst the ongoing protests over the severe water shortage in Delhi. She also mentioned that the BJP leaders had organized a protest against the AAP government in various areas of Delhi earlier in the day.
The Delhi Minister further alleged that the BJP government in Haryana was also playing a role in reducing the water supply to Delhi. She asserted that the Wazirabad barrage was currently empty and the Munak canal was receiving less water, resulting in a water crisis in many parts of south Delhi. Atishi claimed that the BJP had a three-step plan to create chaos and inconvenience for the citizens of Delhi - first, reducing the water supply, then breaking water pipelines, and finally, sending goons to vandalize the Delhi Jal Board office.
When questioned about the incident, the senior AAP leader revealed that there was no immediate response from the BJP. She also added that the Delhi Jal Board officials would be filing a police complaint in connection with the vandalism incident. Atishi raised concerns about the lack of action from the Delhi Police and the Lt Governor's office in such matters and urged them to take necessary steps to ensure the safety and security of the citizens.
In light of these events, Atishi has written a letter to the Delhi Police Commissioner requesting the deployment of personnel for patrolling and safeguarding the major pipelines for the next 15 days. She emphasized the need for immediate action to prevent any further disruptions to the water supply in Delhi.
This incident has caused an uproar among the people of Delhi, and many are demanding swift action against the perpetrators. Atishi's efforts to bring this matter to light and seek justice for the affected citizens are commendable, and it remains to be seen how the authorities will respond to her pleas.
