The Election Commission of India (ECI) has ordered the Haryana government to submit a factual report by Tuesday noon (January 28) regarding allegations of increased ammonia levels in the water supplied from Haryana to Delhi, according to sources. The high level of ammonia in Yamuna has purportedly disrupted water availability in the national capital, sources said.
The directive came after a representation was jointly submitted by Delhi Chief Minister Atishi and Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, accusing BJP-ruled Haryana government of deliberately polluting Yamuna water ahead of the Delhi assembly elections.
AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal launched a scathing attack on the BJP over the issue and accused the Haryana government of mixing "poison" in the Yamuna water to disrupt Delhi's water supply.
"Nothing is a bigger sin than depriving people of water. BJP is trying to leave people of Delhi thirsty for its dirty politics. They are mixing poison in the water being sent from Haryana. This contaminated water is so toxic that it cannot be treated by the water treatment plants present in Delhi. The BJP wants to commit mass murder of Delhi residents. We will not let this happen," Kejriwal alleged.
This is a developing story. It will be updated.
