Raghav Chadha said Haryana released Delhi's legitimate share of water after the DJB moved the Supreme Court and held several rounds of talks with the officials of the neighbouring state.
The Haryana government has released 16,000 cusecs of water in the Yamuna from the Hathnikund Barrage in Yamuna Nagar district and the crisis in the capital will be resolved now, Delhi Jal Board vice chairman Raghav Chadha said on Tuesday. He said Haryana released Delhi's legitimate share of water after the DJB moved the Supreme Court and held several rounds of talks with the officials of the neighbouring state. In 1996, the top court had told the Haryana government and other states to share Yamuna's water to ensure that there was no shortage of drinking water in Delhi. The water utility had on Sunday moved the Supreme Court seeking directions to the Haryana government to release Delhi's share of water.More Related News
