Stakeholder states, Centre have to sit together and find solution...": Atishi on Delhi water crisis ... shortage in Delhi is not Delhi's problem

Delhi's Water Minister Atishi expressed gratitude to the Supreme Court for directing the Upper Yamuna River Board to hold an emergency meeting in response to the water crisis. She emphasized the need for all stakeholder states and the central government to collaborate and resolve the issue.

"I would like to thank the Supreme Court for taking cognizance of the water problem in Delhi and they gave a constructive solution to it that an emergency meeting should be called. In the Upper Yamuna River Board, the Delhi government, the Himachal Pradesh government, the Haryana government, the Uttar Pradesh government, and the Central government should all sit together and find a solution. This decision of the Supreme Court has proved that the water shortage in Delhi is not Delhi's problem. All the states will have to sit together and find a solution to this," Atishi told.

The Supreme Court on Monday asked the Upper Yamuna River Board to convene an emergent meeting on June 5 of all stakeholder States to resolve the water crisis faced by the residents of Delhi.
