The amount of water that should be received from Haryana is continuously decreasing. Be it Wazirabad Barrage or Munak Canal, Haryana is not releasing water. Due to this, Delhi's WTPs are not working at full capacity. Whereas Haryana is saying that they are releasing all the water. Now Haryana's lie has been exposed in the Supreme Court.

But from 23 May, it kept decreasing continuously. Elections in Delhi were on 25 May, in the four days before that Haryana gave less water to Delhi."
