Delhi Cabinet Ministers have written a letter to Prime Narendra Modi and urged him to resolve the water crisis in the national capital on a priority basis, Environment Minister Gopal Rai said on June 24.
Addressing a press conference, Delhi Cabinet Ministers said Minister Atishi’s indefinite fast has entered the fourth day and her health is deteriorating.

“We also invite Delhi Lt. Governor V.K. Saxena, all officers to Wazirabad, Bawana to see the readings of flow metres and see the water levels of the river there. Data is available for the water released by Haryana and they can see for themselves how the water has reduced,” he said.
