Delhi Water Crisis: ‘Matka Phod’ Protests By Congress Amid Water Crisis In Delhi | Watch

Congress workers held a 'Matka Phod' protest in Delhi's Krishna Nagar to highlight the water crisis and accused both the AAP-led Delhi government and the BJP-led central government of neglect and public deception. The protest aimed to raise awareness and pressure the authorities to effectively address the water issues, alleging a conspiracy involving the government and the tanker mafia. AAP leader Atishi stated that the government is taking steps to reduce water wastage. Meanwhile, the Delhi government filed an affidavit pointing to the tanker mafia operating on the Haryana side of the Yamuna River.
