Delhi Water Crisis: Atishi writes to PM Modi, says will go on indefinite fast from June 21 if situation not resolved

Water Minister Atishi

New Delhi: Delhi Water Minister Atishi on Wednesday said that she has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the water crisis in the national capital and threatened to go on an indefinite strike from June 21 if the issue is not resolved within a couple of days.

Addressing a press conference here, Atishi said Delhi is grappling with a water crisis since Haryana is not releasing the capital's share of water.

"Yesterday, Haryana released 513 MGD of water to Delhi as against 613 MGD. One MGD of water is for 28,500 people.

This means that water was not released for over 28 lakh people," she added. (with Agency inputs)
