The embankment of one of the sub-branches of Munak Canal, which supplies water from Haryana to Delhi, was breached late Wednesday night, leading to knee-deep waterlogging in several parts of the Bawana area.

This also affected the water supply in different parts of the city. Due to the breach, the water treatment plants in Dwarka, Hyderpur, Bawana and Nangloi were affected, the water minister Atishi said on Thursday.
