The Haryana government called the allegations baseless, accusing the AAP-led Delhi government of evading its responsibilities, and noting that the barrage releases water according to established guidelines, and is not arbitrarily done.
To be sure, according to the guidelines that monitor the release of water at Hathnikund, if the flow of water exceeds 100,000 cusecs, there will be no flow into the western and eastern canals and the entire water is to be discharged into the main Yamuna as two canals cannot withhold the high flow of water, Haryana government officials said.
Between July 9 and 13, the amount of water released by the barrage varied between 9,300 and 359,000 cusecs.
