Govt. prepares ‘brief documents’ for 684 waterbodies
The Hindu
‘Over 350 waterbodies either encroached upon or owners yet to be traced’
Out of 1,043 identified waterbodies in the national capital, the government has prepared “brief documents” for 684, while the rest are either encroached upon or their owners yet unidentified, a Delhi government official told The Hindu.
All the 1,043 waterbodies — owned by 16 agencies — were identified and given a unique identification number (UID) by the Wetland Authority of Delhi (WAD).

Former CM B.S. Yediyurappa had challenged the first information report registered on March 14, 2024, on the alleged incident that occurred on February 2, 2024, the chargesheet filed by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), and the February 28, 2025, order of taking cognisance of offences afresh by the trial court.
