Chadha, who reviewed the situation at the Wazirabad pond, said Haryana has not been releasing at least 120 MGD (million gallons per day) water that belongs to Delhi and this has led to a water crisis in the national capital.
“The water treatment plants in Delhi are operating at a reduced capacity because of a less discharge of raw water from Haryana.
