Water war spills out on to streets of Delhi; Jal Board office ‘vandalised’

The Hindu  

Delhi Water Minister Atishi on Sunday accused the BJP of vandalising a Delhi Jal Board office, and said some people “intentionally” damaged a pipeline to disrupt water supply to parts of south Delhi. The BJP trashed the charges while saying that the incident at the DJB office in south Delhi was the result of people’s restlessness over the water crisis. Delhi BJP vice-president Yogita Singh said people of Chhatarpur grew restless during a protest and threw an earthen pot, resulting in the breaking of a glass door. ‘MLAs evading people’ Reacting to it, Delhi BJP vice-president and Kalkaji councillor Yogita Singh said it’s shameful that Ms. Atishi is labelling people protesting against the water shortage as “goons”.
