CM Kejriwal appeals Centre to ask UP, Haryana to give due water to Delhi

New Delhi: As Delhi battles a severe water crisis amid rising temperatures in the National Capitol, Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal on Friday made an appeal to the centre and the BJP to urge the governments of Uttar Pradesh and Haryana to help Delhi meet its water demand.

Kejriwal said that the BJP should shun politics on the issue and help the state government address the issue.

"In this scorching heat, the water demand has increased a lot. And the water that Delhi used to get from the neighbouring states has also been reduced. That means the demand has increased a lot and the supply has reduced. We all have to solve this together," Kejriwal wrote in a post on X.

Meanwhile, Delhi residents have complained of acute water shortage, even as the government set up a "war room" and promised "Har Ghar Jal". (with Agency inputs)
