TMC MPs Rally Behind Atishi Amid Delhi Water Crisis

A delegation of Trinamool Congress MPs met with Delhi's Water Minister Atishi amid her indefinite fast, protesting against water scarcity in the capital. They blamed the BJP-led Haryana government for not releasing Delhi's rightful water share and vowed to raise the issue in Parliament.

A delegation of Trinamool Congress (TMC) MPs met Delhi's Water Minister Atishi on Monday as she marked the fourth day of her indefinite fast over the capital's water scarcity. The TMC delegation pledged to raise the issue in Parliament.

MPs Sagarika Ghose, Mahua Moitra, and Pratima Mondal met Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Atishi, who began her fast alleging that Haryana had failed to release Delhi's rightful share of water from the Yamuna. Moitra claimed the BJP-led Haryana government was responsible for the ongoing crisis affecting 30 lakh people.

She highlighted that Delhi's treaty with Haryana mandates 613 MGD of water daily, yet only 100 MGD is currently being received, effectively making nearly 28 lakh residents suffer. Moitra vowed to raise the matter in Parliament to secure Delhi's constitutional rights. Atishi noted that the shortage has persisted for three weeks.
