“Delhi Minister Starts Hunger Strike Over Water Shortage”

Must read

On Friday, June 21, Delhi Education Minister Atishi started a hunger strike because of water problems in many parts of Delhi. She says she tried hard to get water for Delhi people.

Atishi went to Rajghat with other party members to honor Mahatma Gandhi. Then she went to Bhogal to start her hunger strike. She’s doing this to make Haryana give Delhi 100 million gallons of water every day to help with the water crisis.

Atishi said she had no other choice but to stop eating because she can’t bear to see Delhi people suffering. She’ll keep doing this until Delhi gets water from Haryana.

Delhi is very hot right now, and not having enough water is making things worse for people.

Atishi says she won’t stop her strike until Haryana agrees to give Delhi its share of water.

Sunita Kejriwal, wife of Delhi’s Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, came to support Atishi. She said Atishi will only drink water during her protest.

Sunita also shared a message from Arvind Kejriwal, who is in jail. He said he’s sad to see Delhi people suffering and hopes Atishi’s protest will help.

Atishi says Delhi should get 613 million gallons of water daily from Haryana, but they’ve only been getting 513 million gallons. This means not enough water for about 2.8 million people. She also says Haryana has recently cut Delhi’s water even more.
