National Capital Faces Ongoing Water Shortage And Electricity Crisis Amit Rising Temperature | ABP News

Several parts of Delhi have been facing an acute shortage of water supply amid an unprecedented high summer heat. The crisis resulted from reduced water levels in the Yamuna River and technical issues at key water treatment plants. This disruption left several areas with little to no water supply, forcing people to rely on tankers and borewells. 

The Delhi government had filed a plea seeking direction to Haryana to release the surplus water provided by Himachal Pradesh to the national capital to mitigate its water woes. Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena directed the Delhi Police chief to ensure strict vigilance along the Munak canal to prevent water theft and sought action taken report within a week. Atishi also inspected a pipeline network supplying water to South Delhi residents as the water crisis in the national capital worsened.
