Delhi Water Crisis: The Delhi government on Wednesday directed the Delhi Jal Board (DJB) to impose a fine of Rs 2,000 for wastage of water. The move comes at a time when Delhi is facing an “acute shortage” of water. Water Minister Atishi has accused Haryana of not releasing Delhi's share of water from the Yamuna river.
If you are caught washing your car, you will be fined
Atishi said a fine would be imposed for washing cars through pipes, overflowing water from water tanks, and using domestic water for construction and commercial purposes.
200 teams will monitor
The minister has directed the DJB chief executive officer (CEO) to deploy 200 teams to enforce measures to prevent wastage of water. These teams will be deployed from 8 am on Thursday and will impose fines on those wasting water. The teams will also disconnect illegal water connections at construction sites or commercial establishments.
