Talking to reporters after meeting the chief minister, Atishi said Kejriwal took a report from her on the status of electricity and water supply in Delhi and issued directions to MLAs to work on ground to solve the water problem.
“He has instructed me that whatever steps are required to be taken to overcome the water shortage should be taken as soon as possible,” Atishi said. She was accompanied by Rajya Sabha member Raghav Chadha during her visit to Kejriwal in jail.
Atishi added that the current production of water in Delhi was down by 40-45 million gallon per day (MGD) due to shortage of supply and efforts were also being made to get additional water from Haryana and Himachal Pradesh.
Against the targeted supply of 1,000 MGD, the total production from nine water treatment plants and from ranney wells and tubewells on Thursday was 951.2 MGD, Delhi Jal Board stated in its daily bulletin.
