AAP leader Sanjay Singh said that the water from the Hathnikund barrage was intentionally only being sent to Delhi to flood parts of the city.
Hours after the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) alleged the BJP of using the Haryana government to "intentionally" divert water towards flood-hit Delhi through Hathnikund Barrage, the state government on Friday said that the AAP's claims were 'misleading' and that water with a flow of over 1 lakh cusecs cannot be discharged into other sides.
Taking to Twitter, the Department of Information and Public Relations, said that as per Central Water Commission (CWC) guidelines, water with a flow of over 1 lakh cusecs cannot be discharged into Western Yamuna and Eastern Yamuna Canal.
"Retired IAS and Advisor (Irrigation) to Chief Minister of Haryana Devendra Singh said that as per CWC guidelines, if the water flow in Hathini Kund barrage is more than 1 lakh cusecs, the water will flow into Western Yamuna and Eastern Yamuna Canal due to large boulders cannot be discharged," DIPR Haryana said in a series of tweets.
