The ongoing water crisis in Delhi has escalated, with the AAP government appealing to Haryana to release water from the Yamuna river on humanitarian grounds. The city is grappling with severe water scarcity, impacting millions of residents and creating a dire situation for drinking water and irrigation.

The situation has worsened due to the low water levels in the Yamuna, exacerbated by a lack of water release from Haryana. This has led to a shortage of water supply in various parts of Delhi, forcing residents to endure long queues for water tankers and facing the prospect of water rationing.

The AAP government, led by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, has repeatedly urged Haryana to release water to address the immediate crisis. They have emphasized the need to prioritize the basic human need for drinking water, particularly during the scorching summer months.

The appeal for water release is based on the principles of water sharing agreements and the critical need to ensure the well-being of Delhi’s citizens. The AAP government believes that the current situation warrants immediate action, going beyond political differences to prioritize the humanitarian aspect of the crisis.

However, the situation remains tense, with no concrete response from Haryana. The lack of a swift solution is causing growing anxiety among Delhi residents, highlighting the urgent need for a collaborative approach between both states to resolve the water crisis.
