As Delhi swelters with temperatures nearing 50°C, the city faces a serious water crisis exacerbated by Haryana's alleged non-release of Delhi's water share since May 1. Delhi Water Minister Atishi warns of fines for excessive water usage, urging residents to conserve water. Measures include rationing water supply, reducing frequency in some areas, and reallocating saved water to deficient zones. With Delhi heavily reliant on Haryana and Uttar Pradesh for water, Atishi threatens Supreme Court action if the issue persists. As the heatwave intensifies, cooperation and judicious water use become imperative for residents.
