Haryana Water Tankers

A day after the Supreme Court slammed AAP government over tanker mafia in water-scarce national capital, the Delhi government claimed they were operational on the Haryana side of the Yamuna river over which the Delhi Jal Board has no jurisdiction.

As temperatures continue to rise in Haryana, the state government has directed officials to ensure tankers supply potable water to areas facing a scarcity.

Many areas in Delhi continued to face water shortage with angry residents protesting that they have had to buy water tankers for more than Rs 2000 each. The officials, however, said the situation has improved marginally with neighbouring Haryana releasing more water to Delhi.
