Delhi is reeling under a water shortage but Haryana is refusing to turn up the tap
Water Crisis in Delhi
In India, Delhi is demanding its fair share of 80 million gallons daily from the newly-constructed Munak canal but Haryana has refused to turn the tap any further, claiming that Delhi is withdrawing more than its allocated share. Delhi officials have taken up the matter with the prime minister and are even contemplating approaching the Supreme Court.
The city has been reeling under a shortage of water since two weeks back when Haryana reduced its supply to the Haiderpur water treatment plant. Large parts of the city, including south, southwest, west and NDMC areas, are parched.
