Delhi Jal Board (DJB) vice chairman Raghav Chadha on Sunday had said that the water utility has moved the Supreme Court, seeking directions to Haryana to release the capital's legitimate share of water.

Haryana Minister Anil Vij on Monday dismissed as baseless the Delhi government's charge that his state was withholding the national capital's share of 120 million gallons of water a day and alleged that Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had "done a PhD in speaking lies". Delhi Jal Board (DJB) vice chairman Raghav Chadha on Sunday had said that the water utility has moved the Supreme Court, seeking directions to Haryana to release the capital's legitimate share of water. He claimed that Haryana has been withholding 120 million gallons of water a day (MGD) meant for Delhi and that the raw water being discharged into the Yamuna river by the neighbouring state is at an "all-time low". When asked about the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government's claims, Haryana Home Minister Vij told reporters that "Kejriwal (the Delhi chief minister) has done a PhD in speaking lies".
