Water 'crisis': Atishi, DJB not on same page
The Morning Standard
|November 24, 2023
TWO days after Water Minister Atishi warned that the city might face a water crisis, the Delhi Jal Board on Thursday clarified that there was no need to panic. This could spark a fresh tussle between the bureaucracy and the political leadership.
Going against the claims made by its own minister, the water agency said it is in a position to cater to any emergency.
On Tuesday Atishi alleged that the finance department was not releasing funds to the DJB despite several written orders by the city government.
In her communication with L-G VK Saxena, she demanded the suspension of finance secretary Ashish Verma for stopping the funds since August at the behest of the chief secretary.
