Nueva Delhi: Delhi’s prime minister, Atishi, wrote a letter to the Electoral Chief Rajiv Kumar commissioner demanding actions against the Haryana government governed by BJP for trying to “sabotage the water supply” in Delhi to influence the next elections of the Assembly.
Atishi described the action of the Haryana government as an act of water terrorism and said that the water treatment plants of the Delhi Jal Board are designed to treat ammonia only up to 1 ppm level. Howerr, ammonia levels have constantly increased in the water that reaches Delhi through the Yamuna River due to the mixture of unrelated wastewater or industrial waste from Harkana.
“In the continuation of my letter dated January 27, 2025, highlighting the deliberate attempt of the Haryana government to sabotage the water supply of the people of Delhi in an attempt to influence yesterday, that is, on January 27, 2025 For the CEO of the Board of Delhi Jal to the main secretary of Delhi on this matter, “said the letter.
“Despite knowing the toxic effects of liberating ammonia on the raw water supply, the Delhi Jal Board CEO note leaves no doubt that it is due to the indiscriminate and deliberate spill of unrelated wastewater and industrial waste from Haryana that is causing the current water supply in Delhi.
This comes a day after AAP’s call, Arvind Kejriwal, affirmed that Haryana’s government was “mixing poison” in the water from the state.
