Delhi cabinet ministers convened at the hunger strike site of colleague Atishi in Jangpura’s Bhogal. They unanimously decided to address a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, emphasizing the critical need to resolve Delhi’s ongoing water crisis.
Appeal for Immediate Government Action
Environment Minister Gopal Rai highlighted the urgency of the situation, stressing that Atishi’s health is deteriorating as her hunger strike reaches its fourth day. The ministers urged swift action from the central government to address the shortage and ensure Delhi receives its rightful share of water.
Call for Transparency and Data Examination
Rai invited Delhi Lt Governor VK Saxena and officials to visit water monitoring points at Wazirabad and Bawana. They aim to review flow meter readings and assess river water levels firsthand, citing concerns over reduced water supply from Haryana.
Support Demonstrations and Community Action
In solidarity with Atishi’s protest, the ministers announced plans for an evening candlelight march to demonstrate public support and draw attention to the pressing water issue.
