Responding to the allegations made by Delhi PWD Minister Atishi on the Delhi flood situation accusing the Haryana government of releasing water in the city, Satbir Singh Kadian, Engineer in Chief, Irrigation and Water Resource Haryana government on July 16 said, “...Hathnikund barrage is not a reservoir, barrage means to have the ability to change water direction...”. He added that there is a lot of improvement in the water level of Yamuna, 55 thousand cusecs of stabilized water are coming within 24 hours...The peak flow that we received was about 3.60 lakh cusecs, due to which a flood-like situation arose in Delhi. But I do not understand that in 2019, we had seen 8.60 lakh cusecs of water passing through Delhi, but this time the dire situations that have been created are beyond my understanding and Delhi should see what is the reason for this...”.The AAP Minister made headlines when she gave a controversial statement asking the Centre that even though in Delhi the water level was crossing the danger mark, not a single drop of water was diverted to Haryana & UP. Was it because these 2 states are BJP-ruled? BJP must answer...was this a conspiracy against the people of Delhi?...
