The escalating unrest by the Jat community in Haryana is going to affect the national capital severely as a major water is crisis is going to hit New Delhi in the upcoming days.
The morning water supply tomorrow will be available at low pressure as only 60% of water is available for supply.
"There is a crisis situation in Delhi. Whatever store of water we had we will use that for the people. As of now, we have rationed yesterday's water. After tomorrow we will not be able to supply water," Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia told the media here.
The supply sources of water feeding seven Water Treatment Plants have completely dried up and as a result all these plants had to be shut down.
The areas affected due to the closure of plants are West Delhi, North-West, Central, South and part of North Delhi.
"Against the total production of 820 Million Gallons per day (MGD) of potable water, only 240 MGD is being produced, because of the disruption of the supply source from Haryana. DJB's tanker fleet has been fully redirected to the water deficient areas. The situation at Wazirabad is being constantly monitored. In this emergent situation, the people of Delhi are requested to use water with the utmost care," a statement by the Delhi Jal Board said.
