The Delhi government’s move follows a request from Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to the central government and the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to work together to resolve the water shortage issue. Kejriwal highlighted the increased water demand due to the scorching heatwave and requested the BJP-led Centre to hold talks with Haryana and Uttar Pradesh to ensure Delhi receives adequate water supplies. He emphasized that cooperation and a non-political approach are crucial in providing relief to the people of Delhi during this crisis. The Delhi government’s petition to the Supreme Court seeks to expedite the process of obtaining additional water supplies from neighboring states. The severe water crisis in Delhi has been exacerbated by reduced water inflows from neighboring states, leading to a significant shortfall in the city’s water supply. The Delhi government’s actions demonstrate its commitment to addressing this critical issue and providing water security to its residents.
