Delhi’s Water Minister Atishi has entered the third day of her hunger strike, demanding Haryana to release Delhi’s rightful share of water from the Hathnikund Barrage. Atishi claims Haryana has closed all gates despite the barrage being full, depriving 28 lakh Delhi residents of 100 MGD of water. The Aam Aadmi Party asserts Delhi should receive 613 MGD daily from Haryana but currently gets less than 513 MGD, exacerbating the severe water crisis amid scorching temperatures. Atishi vows to continue her hunger strike until Delhi’s water needs are met, amid ongoing political tensions and counter-protests from opposition parties.
