As Delhi continue to boil under the flaming sun, an additional crisis of shortage in water has worsened their problems. After issuing the notice to the Delhi Jal Board (DJB) to impose a fine of Rs 2,000 for water wastage, Delhi AAP leader Atishi reiterated her claims, blaming the Haryana Government for taking arbitrary actions leading to water wastage. The minister inspected the Wazirabad Water Treatment Plant and said that a letter has already been written to the Haryana government to release water. 

Amid the ongoing struggle, Delhites are already losing control and patience. The government's decision to cut supply to areas that previously received water supply twice a day has proved to be extremely problematic for the residents. The visuals have surfaced showing that water is being supplied to the people through tankers.

One of the users wrote that people are now even risking their lives to get a few drops of water. In one of the videos, the residents were seen rushing to the tankers as soon as it arrived showing how desperately they needed water. 

Another set of videos shows people raising slogans against the AAP government, blaming them for the adversity and challenges that they are encountering daily. 

Residents are also complaining about the price they have to incur if they order private tankers that fall between Rs 1800 to Rs 2000. 

Amid the escalating situation, women in Delhi have been seen holding unique protests by breaking pots. Women BJP workers were also seen protesting against the Arvind Kejriwal government outside Minister Atishi's residence over the issue. 

Further the Delhi government has directed Jal Board to deploy 200 teams across the city starting from May 30 to identify and penalise anyone found guilty of wasting water, especially using pipes for car washing, overflowing water tanks and use of domestic water for commercial use and commercial purposes.
