The simmering water crisis in Delhi has boiled over, prompting the Congress party to organize a series of protests across the capital. With the tagline “Matka Phod, Haq Jodo”, the party members staged demonstrations, smashing earthen pots, symbolizing the depleting water resources and the growing frustration of residents.

The protests come at a time when Delhi is grappling with acute water scarcity. The Yamuna River, the city’s primary water source, is heavily polluted and its water levels are alarmingly low. The AAP government, currently in power, has been criticized for its perceived inaction in addressing the crisis.

Congress leaders allege that the government has failed in its responsibility to ensure adequate water supply, highlighting the lack of proper water management, infrastructure development, and efficient water distribution. They demand immediate action to address the crisis, urging the government to prioritize water conservation and find sustainable solutions.

The ‘Matka Phod’ protests have garnered significant public attention, with residents echoing the concerns raised by the Congress party. They highlight the everyday struggle they face in accessing clean and sufficient water, often resorting to buying water from tankers at exorbitant prices.

The ongoing water crisis in Delhi serves as a stark reminder of the need for urgent and comprehensive action. As the debate over water management intensifies, it remains to be seen whether the government will respond effectively to the growing public demand for a solution.
