New Delhi: A day after being questioned by the Supreme Court over tanker mafias and the wastage of water, Delhi Water Minister Atishi on Thursday, said that out of the total water supply in Delhi, only 4-5 million gallons per day (MGD) of water is used by the tankers, adding that even stopping of 'tanker mafia' won't help in fully redressing the problem.
She further said that the Delhi government has taken multiple steps, but the water shortage can't be met unless Delhi receives its due share at the Wazirabad barrage and the Munak canal.
The AAP leader today inspected the water distribution network near Akshardham.
Atishi said, "We have come here to check the main water pipeline from Sonia Vihar to various areas of South Delhi. Senior officers have also been ordered to check all pipelines for any leakage…
Jal Board staff have also been told that revenue officers will conduct patrolling with them because, in these crisis times, we can't afford to waste even a single drop of water." (with Agency inputs)
