BJP asks Delhi Assembly Speaker to convene special session on water crisis

The Hindu  

The BJP on Saturday wrote to Assembly Speaker Ram Niwas Goel demanding a special session of the House to discuss the prevailing water crisis “caused by mismanagement of the Delhi government”. Meanwhile, Water Minister Atishi continued to blame Haryana for the water shortage, accusing the BJP’s State government of not releasing Delhi’s share of 1,050 cusecs of water in the Yamuna river through the Munak canal. However, if only 840 cusecs of water is reaching Delhi, it means Haryana is not releasing enough water in the Munak canal,” Ms. Atishi said. BJP’s South Delhi MP-elect Ramvir Singh Bidhuri said water released by Himachal Pradesh takes 48 hours to reach the city and that the Water Minister had begun accusing the Haryana government even before the 137 cusecs of water had made its way to Delhi.
