Atishi blames Haryana for flood situation in Delhi
Delhi's Education Minister Atishi has blamed the Haryana government for the flood situation in Delhi.
She said, "When there was flood in Delhi, the situation was so dire, then why was all the water being released to Delhi. If you look at the records of Hathini Kund barrage for three days, you would know. Not a single drop was released to UP or Haryana, all the water was released towards Delhi."
"The question is why enmity with the people of Delhi? We believe that their capacity is less, but if water was released there, the fields would have got submerged, but by releasing water in Delhi, where the population is so dense, here people's lives were at risk."
"The Haryana government will have to answer why all the water was being released to Delhi. If the water was released there, the flood in Delhi could have been avoided, there should be an inquiry."
"There has not been a single drop of drinking water in Delhi for four days. The water that is filled on the streets and colonies of Delhi only came from Haryana."
Atishi told that the people of Delhi are expected to get relief in the next 12 hours, as the water level of Yamuna is continuously decreasing..
