“We have tried all possible steps by requesting the Haryana government and petitioning the Supreme Court. We have sought intervention from union Jal Shakti minister. On Tuesday, a high-level delegation of officers from Delhi met Haryana government officers but they refused to provide any water... The suffering of the people of Delhi has crossed all limits.
I have written to Prime Minister Modi requesting his intervention. If Delhi’s rightful share of water is not provided in the next two days, I will start a satyagraha for water. I will start an indefinite fast till Delhi gets its water,” the water minister said while addressing media persons.
