Delhi's Water Minister, Atishi, expressed her frustration with the Haryana government on Tuesday, accusing them of intentionally and unlawfully cutting off the water supply to Delhi. During a press conference, Atishi revealed that the reduced water supply from Haryana has caused Delhi to struggle in meeting its daily water needs.
She cited an affidavit submitted by the Haryana government in the Supreme Court as evidence, stating that it proves the government's deceitful claims of providing sufficient water to Delhi. According to the affidavit, the water supply was reduced just before the Delhi elections in May, causing a significant decrease in the water quantity released to Delhi.
Atishi pointed out that the numbers in the affidavit clearly show a decrease in water supply from May 1 to 22, with a larger decrease during the time of the elections on May 25. The minister emphasized that this reduction in water supply has caused significant inconvenience to the people of Delhi.
Furthermore, Atishi also revealed that the data from the affidavit shows that on June 7, 8, 9, and 10, the amount of water released was even less than what was promised by the Haryana government. This revelation exposes the lies of the Haryana government and confirms that they are releasing less water than what is required by Delhi.
Atishi announced her plans to write a letter to the Haryana Chief Minister and approach the Supreme Court to present the data in the affidavit. She also expressed her disappointment in the Haryana government's disregard for the Supreme Court's orders.
Delhi is currently facing a shortage of 40-45 million gallons of water per day due to the reduced water supply from Haryana. To address this issue, the Delhi government has assigned a quick response team to inspect the water distribution plants for any possible leakages.
The people of Delhi are facing immense difficulties due to the reduced water supply from Haryana, and Atishi hopes that by bringing this issue to light, the situation can be resolved and the people can receive the water they need.
