Top officials in the Government said most areas in the city will continue to grapple with water shortage as production at all major water treatment plants has gone down significantly.
Considering the gravity of the situation, Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit have been trying to speak to her Haryana counterpart Bhupinder Singh Hooda but to no avail.
"People of Delhi are bound to face acute shortage of drinking water as Haryana has arbitrarily and drastically curtailed raw water supply," said a late night statement from Chief Minister's office.
The officials said Chief Secretary P K Tripathi and DJB CEO Debashree Mukherjee have also been requesting top officials in Haryana government to release water to Delhi but so far no positive indication has come from the neighbouring state.
They said production of water in various treatment plants has come down by 45 million gallon per day (MGD) which would leave most people "thirsty".
"The residents of North, West, New Delhi and Walled city will have to face a very difficult situation in their localities," the statement from Dikshit's office said. MORE
