To combat the ongoing water crisis in Delhi, the Delhi Education Minister has announced fines for individuals found washing their cars using excessive water or with pipes. Illegal water connections at construction sites and commercial establishments will also be disconnected. The minister emphasized the importance of water conservation amidst an acute heat wave and Haryana’s failure to release Delhi’s share of water. The Delhi Jal Board has deployed 200 teams to enforce these measures and impose fines of 2,000 rupees on water wasters.
