Water Tanker Mafia

Delhi BJP leaders and MPs along with party workers on Monday staged demonstrations across Delhi slamming the AAP government over the water crisis in the city.

The water crisis in Delhi has blown up into a full-fledged political controversy, with the Delhi government being accused of being unable to stop water theft from the Munak canal.

Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena and Delhi water minister Atishi were on Wednesday involved in a social media spat over the water crisis.

The Supreme Court today came down heavily on the Aam Aadmi Party government in Delhi over the prevalence of tanker mafia and water wastage in the city, and asked what measures it has taken against them.

The BJP on Thursday accused the AAP of not addressing the water scarcity facing Delhi and claimed people are being forced to abandon social distancing and hand hygiene to get to water tankers amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Arvind Kejriwal instructed the officials to register FIR against "tanker mafia" and send them to jail.

The moment they saw the city water tanker stop in their neighbourhood, Mohammed and Nayla rushed towards it. That day, the water was free a rare event in Karachi, where organised gangs siphon it off to sell to thirsty residents.
