Atishi alleges Haryana Reducing Water Flow Delhi water minister and Aam Admi Party (AAP) leader Atishi, on June 7, alleged that Haryana is not giving Delhi its rightful share of water, according to a PTI report. Atishi inspected the Wazirabad barrage on June 7 and accused the Haryana government of “conspiring” against the people of Delhi by releasing less water into the Yamuna and continuously stopping the city’s water share, it added.

The Supreme Court is trying to solve the water problem. It is continuously hearing this matter and has ordered a meeting of the Upper Yamuna River Board. It will hear the matter again on Monday. But for the last five days, when the hearing was on in the court, the Haryana government has been conspiring behind its back,” she alleged. “Delhi is dependent on the Yamuna for its entire water supply. The water that comes into the river is the same that is released from Haryana. “The water coming into the Yamuna is supplied to the Wazirabad, Chandrawal and Okhla water treatment plants. If the water supply reduces and consequently, the water in these plants reduces, when less water comes into the Yamuna from Haryana, then from where will these plants produce water? This will affect the supply, and people will face problems,” she said.

Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva, however, has accused Atishi of “lying” and “misleading” the people and demanded an all-party meeting be called to address the crisis, the report added.
