DJB denied funds, Delhi water crisis looming: Water minister Atishi

IndiaTimes Wednesday, 22 November 2023
Delhi's water minister, Atishi, has warned of a water crisis in the city due to the finance department's failure to approve requested funds for the Delhi Jal Board (DJB). Atishi has written to the lieutenant governor seeking intervention to prevent a severe man-made crisis. The DJB has faced financial irregularities and challenges, with the finance department ordering a special audit of its accounts. However, a Delhi government officer has refuted the claims, stating that funds have been released and it is the DJB's responsibility to manage its own finances.
