| Khattar's remarks on water issue irresponsible: AAP | | | Agencies
New Delhi, Nov 30: Terming Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar's remarks on providing water to Delhi as "irresponsible", the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Sunday pointed out that his state was legally bound to release 80 million gallons of water for the national capital every day. In a statement issued here, AAP said it appeared that Khattar was unaware of the fact that Haryana is legally bound to release 80 million gallons of water into the Munak Canal for Delhi everyday, according to the memorandum of understanding signed between two states in 1993.
Khattar had yesterday said he would approach the Centre to find ways to resolve water scarcity in Delhi and Haryana.
Noting that Haryana does not have its own source of water, the Chief Minister had said that the national capital should also understand its requirements.
"We will approach the Centre and find out source of water from Punjab, Uttarakhand, Rajasthan and try to supply water from these sources to national capital," he had said.
"Khattar's irresponsible statement on Saturday that his government cannot release water for Delhi and would be able to do so only if other neighbouring states also help, clearly shows he still does not know about the legal obligations of his state government," the party said.
"Khattar would do well to go through the Delhi High Court order of November 27 in which Haryana government has been directed to release water for Delhi. |
