In a concerted effort to resolve the worsening water crisis, a delegation of AAP leaders met Delhi Lieutenant Governor V.K. Saxena, appealing for his intervention to secure Delhi’s rightful water share from Haryana. The delegation, including Rajya Sabha MPs Sanjay Singh and ND Gupta, Cabinet Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj, and MLAs Dilip Pandey, Somnath Bharti, Rajesh Gupta, Rituraj Jha and others, highlighted the severe shortfall of 113 MGD in water released by Haryana to Delhi. The LG assured them he would engage with the Haryana government to address the issue promptly.
Cabinet Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj informed that a delegation of the AAP met LG and they had a positive discussion. “We informed LG that there is a shortage of about 113 MGD water in the water coming from Haryana right now. Due to this, lakhs of people in Delhi are facing problems. Since LG is the representative of the central government.
“Therefore, we have requested LG to talk to the Haryana government and get Delhi its full share of water. On this, LG V.K. Saxena has assured that he will talk to the Haryana government and try to get Delhi its full share of water,” he added.
We also conveyed to the LG that it will rain in a week. It has started raining in Shimla, Himachal. So much water will come in the next week that Haryana will not be able to stop it even if it wants to. So now it is just a matter of a week. We have requested the LG to try and get water from Haryana for Delhi for a week,” Saurabh Bharadwaj shared.
