Amid a serious water crisis in the nation’s capital, the Delhi administration sought the Supreme Court on Friday to obtain extra raw supplies from nearby Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and Himachal Pradesh.
Arvind Kejriwal, the Chief Minister of Delhi, asserted earlier in the day that the states bordering the capital had cut back on water supplies.
Kejriwal on Water Crisis: Urges Unity and Praises BJP for Securing Temporary Relief
The people of Delhi will be extremely grateful to the BJP for taking this move if it manages to secure some water for the city for a month by speaking with the governments of UP and Haryana. Nobody can control the intense heat like this. Can we, however, save the people from this if we band together? Kejriwal shared something on social media site X.
The Delhi government has implemented strict measures due to the worsening water crisis, such as fining ₹2,000 “on anyone found wasting water and shall disconnect any illegal water connection on construction sites or commercial establishments.”

Delhi’s Worsening Water Crisis: Residents Struggle Amidst Unrelenting Heat
Delhi’s water problem has gotten worse as a result of the temperature that hasn’t let up, forcing locals to hurry to the water trucks with empty buckets. Men, women, and children climbed to the top of the water truck in Chanakyapuri’s Vivekananda Colony, according to reports.
The same situation arises every year, according to Rahul Kumar, a resident of Burari in North Delhi, and “people have to fight with each other.” Not all individuals can purchase water. After waiting for the tanker all day, we finally manage to get the water. Although it’s difficult in this heat, water is the most essential item for humans,” he continued.
