Supreme Court Questions Delhi Government Over Tanker Mafias and Water Wastage; Seeks Affidavit

Supreme Court Questions Delhi Government Over Tanker Mafias and Water Wastage; Seeks Affidavit



The Supreme Court of India has raised serious concerns over the issues of tanker mafias and water wastage in Delhi, demanding an affidavit from the AAP government detailing the measures taken to prevent water loss in the capital. This development came to light on Tuesday when the apex court questioned the Delhi government during a hearing.


Strong Objections to Tanker Mafias


A vacation bench consisting of Justice Prashant Kumar Mishra and Justice Prasanna B Varale took a firm stand against the existence of tanker mafias in Delhi. The bench asked the Delhi government to explain the actions taken against these mafias and warned that if the state government fails to take effective action, the Delhi police will be directed to intervene.


Affidavit Demanded


The Supreme Court has instructed the Delhi government to submit an affidavit detailing the measures implemented to prevent water loss. This affidavit is to be filed either on the same day or the following day before the next hearing, which has been deferred to June 13. The court emphasized the need for a prompt response to address the critical issue of water management in the national capital.


Contradictory Statements from Himachal Pradesh


During the hearing, the Supreme Court also took exception to contradictory statements from Himachal Pradesh regarding water access. The court questioned Himachal Pradesh officials about their access to water, highlighting that an interim order had been passed based on the state's assurance of water availability. The court hinted at possible contempt proceedings against Himachal Pradesh officials for misleading statements.


Addressing Water Scarcity


The Delhi government has been facing severe criticism over recurring water shortages, particularly during the summer months. Advocate Shadan Farasat, representing the Delhi government, informed the court that multiple actions have been taken, including massive disconnections to prevent water wastage. Senior Advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi provided details of decisions made by the Yamuna Board and the water supply routes from Haryana and Himachal Pradesh.


Supreme Court's Interim Order


Previously, on June 6, the Supreme Court directed Himachal Pradesh to release 137 cusecs of surplus water to Delhi. The court also mandated Haryana to facilitate the flow of this surplus water from Hathnikund barrage to Wazirabad without interruption, to mitigate Delhi's water crisis. This order came in response to the Delhi government's plea for immediate additional water due to acute shortages exacerbated by record-high temperatures and heatwaves.


Water Crisis in Delhi


The plea filed by the Delhi government highlighted the severe water shortage faced by the city's residents, triggered by extreme heat conditions. With temperatures soaring to around 50 degrees Celsius in some areas, the demand for water has surged, causing frequent supply cuts and disrupting daily life.


The Delhi government has taken all possible administrative measures to optimize water supply, yet the shortage remains acute. The government approached the Supreme Court for immediate relief, leading to an agreement with Himachal Pradesh to share surplus water. However, the cooperation of Haryana is crucial for transporting this water to Delhi.


Conclusion


The Supreme Court's intervention underscores the urgency of addressing water management issues in Delhi. The forthcoming affidavit from the Delhi government will shed light on the measures taken to combat water wastage and tackle the tanker mafia problem. As the hearing continues, the focus remains on ensuring a sustainable and efficient water supply for the capital's residents.
