'Parts Of Delhi To Face Water Problems': Kejriwal Says Water Treatment Plants Shut As Yamuna Swells
Arvind Kejriwal said that Water Treatment Plants in Wazirabad, Chandrawal, and Okhla are being closed which can cause water problems in some areas of the national capital.
The Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday said that due to the rising water level of the river Yamuna, Water Treatment Plants in Wazirabad, Chandrawal, and Okhla are being closed which can cause water problems in some areas of the national capital. "Due to the rising water level of River Yamuna, Water Treatment Plants in Wazirabad, Chandrawal and Okhla are being closed. This would cause water problems in some areas of Delhi. As soon as the water level of the river decreases, we will try to restart these Plants again," Kejriwal said in a tweet.
यमुना में बढ़ते जल स्तर की वजह से वज़ीराबाद, चन्द्रावल और ओखला वॉटर ट्रीटमेंट प्लांट बंद करने पड़ रहे हैं। इस वजह से दिल्ली के कुछ इलाक़ों में पानी की परेशानी होगी। जैसे ही यमुना का पानी कम होगा, इन्हें जल्द से जल्द चालू करने की कोशिश करेंगे।
