Various areas in the Capital
continue to face a water shortage though the situation has improved marginally
with neighbouring Haryana releasing more water for Delhi.
Delhi Jal Board officials said the
Haiderpur treatment plant, which supplies water to various areas in West and
South Delhi, could not produce water to its optimum capacity due to shortage of
raw water.
However, they said Haryana has
released more water to Delhi as per decision taken at a meeting between Chief
Minister Sheila Dikshit and her Haryana counterpart Bhupinder Singh Hooda. “The
Haiderpur water treatment plant could not treat water to its optimum level due
to shortage of raw water,” the officials said.
With Delhi complaining about cut in
supply of water by Haryana, the Water Resources Ministry has deployed engineers
from the Central Water Commission (CWC) and the Upper Yamuna Board at the sites
from where Haryana releases water to Delhi to check the veracity of the claims.
Similarly, engineers have been posted at sites in Delhi which receive water
from the neighbouring States.
