Monsoon Fails to Solve Delhi’s Water Woes, Atishi Demands Action

Despite the ongoing monsoon season, Delhi continues to grapple with water scarcity, prompting Aam Aadmi Party leader Atishi to write to Chief Minister Rekha Gupta. Atishi highlighted that residents in several areas, including Kalkaji, Badarpur, and South-Central Delhi, are facing dry taps, even as the city’s streets are waterlogged. She criticized the BJP government, questioning their preparedness and efficiency in managing the water supply. Atishi pointed out the apparent irony of the situation: how is it that the city experiences both flooding and water shortages simultaneously? She questioned how, despite BJP governance at the state level and neighboring states, Delhi residents continue to struggle for water.
