Amid escalating tensions over the water crisis in Delhi, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Minister Atishi has issued a stark ultimatum. At a press conference on Wednesday, Atishi warned that unless Delhi receives its rightful share of water by June 21, she will resort to a Satyagraha protest. The crux of the issue lies in Haryana’s alleged withholding of water owed to Delhi, exacerbating shortages in the sweltering summer heat. This standoff underscores the critical need for swift resolution, as millions of Delhi residents face dwindling water supplies.
