01:30Today is the second day of my Anshan, as you know there is a shortage of water in Delhi.
01:55In this scorching heat, when the people of Delhi needed more water, there is a shortage of water here.
02:02Delhi does not have its own water. All the water that comes to Delhi comes from neighboring states.
02:09In total, 1,005 MgD of water comes to Delhi, which goes to Delhi's homes.
02:16Of this, 613 MgD of water comes from Haryana.
02:20But for the past few weeks, Haryana has been sending only 513 MgD of water.
02:26That is, 100 MgD of water is sending 100 million gallons of water less every day.
02:331 MgD, that is, 1 million gallons of water, gives water to 28,500 people.
02:40That is, if Haryana is giving 100 million gallons of water less, then more than 28 lakh people in Delhi will not get water.
02:4928 lakh people in Delhi are yearning for a drop of water.
02:54I have tried every possible way.
02:58But when the Haryana government was not ready to give water from any way, then I had no choice but to sit on Anshan.
03:08The people of Delhi are in so much pain, so worried, yearning for a drop of water.
03:16That is why I have been sitting on Anshan since yesterday.
03:20This morning, I again asked the Delhi Water Board for all the figures.
03:25But even today, there is a shortage of water.
03:30Yesterday, 110 MgD of water came from Haryana throughout the day.
03:35This means that more than 28 lakh people will not get water today.
03:42I will sit on this Anshan until the Haryana government does not give water to the people of Delhi.
03:50I will not eat until these 28 lakh people in Delhi do not get water.
03:57Until the 28 lakh people in Delhi do not get water from Haryana, this Anshan will continue.
