Delhi Water Minister Atishi enters the second day of her indefinite fast, protesting against the severe water crisis in the capital.

Broadcasting a video message from her 'Jal Satyagrah' venue in Bhogal, south Delhi, Atishi vowed to continue fasting until Haryana releases sufficient water for the city's 28 lakh affected residents.

Atishi accused Haryana of withholding Delhi's rightful share of Yamuna water, revealing that 110 million gallons per day less water was released. She explained that the shortfall impacts 28 lakh people, given that each MGD serves 28,000 residents. She also pointed out that Delhi relies heavily on neighboring states for its water supply.
