New Delhi: Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena on Tuesday said he has spoken to Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini who told him that water is being provided to the national capital as per its allocated share.

The ruling AAP government, over the past fortnight, has repeatedly accused BJP-ruled Haryana of withholding Delhi's share of water. There is an acute water shortage in the national capital amid unprecedented heat.

The Lieutenant Governor on Monday met Delhi ministers Atishi and Saurabh Bhardwaj and assured them that he would take up the issue of water supply with the Haryana government. He advised them not to indulge in “blame-blaming” and resolve the issues amicably.

"Spoke to the Honorable Chief Minister of Haryana, Shri Nayab Saini ji yesterday. He reiterated that water is being provided to Delhi as per the allocated share and assured all possible help, despite the State's own constraints due to the ongoing heat wave. Has been given." said a post on X on Tuesday.
