India News: Haryana has agreed to release more raw water to Delhi from Tajewala out of the share of Uttar Pradesh in the Yamuna and this would help the Capital city in generation of more water at its Sonia Vihar and Bhagirathi water treatment plants, where the treatment had been affected due to disruption in raw water supply from the Ganga Canal.
The Delhi Government said Haryana announced its decision to release more water after Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit on Friday requested her Haryana counterpart Bhupinder Singh Hooda to help the Capital tide over its current water crisis by releasing more water to it.
"With arrival of 240 cusecs (cubic feet per second) from Tajewala and utilisation of water from storage tank in Delhi, it is expected that water supply would become normal in South and East parts of the Capital," the Delhi Government said.
