The CM appealed to Shekhawat to urgently address the issue of increasing the water allocation of Delhi. “Today’s water requirement of Delhi cannot be met with what was fixed in 1996. It must be the primary responsibility of all,” said the Chief Minister. The Chief Minister said the water demand in Delhi would further go up in the coming years with the Delhi Development Authority’s land pooling policy coming up.
