Delhi Water Crisis: SC Pulls Up Himachal Govt Over 'False Statements In Court', Warns Of Contempt Case | ABP News

The Supreme Court also pulled up the Himachal government over the excess water it had promised to the Delhi government. 

Justice Prashant Kumar Mishra after going through the status reports asked why false statements were made in court about excess water with Himachal Pradesh. 

"You submit that they have excess water and now they (Himachal government) say they have already given it meaning nothing. The entire basis of the plea is that Himachal Pradesh has excess water that is 137 cusecs," the court asked the counsel appearing for Delhi.

 The top court further pointed out how tanker mafias are getting water in Delhi when pipelines are running dry."

 "Why were false statements made before this court? If water is coming from Himachal Pradesh then where is the water going in Delhi? There is so much spillage, tanker mafias, etc...what measures have you taken in this regard?" Justice Mishra asked the Delhi government.
