"Gud news. Army takes control of munak canal gates.Trying to assess in how much time water wud reach Del n whether any damage done to canal lining. Will keep u updated," he added.
Meanwhile, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said that with water supply badly being badly hit, Delhites would be facing tough days in the coming future.
"So! dry day starts from today? No water supply at my home this morning. No hope to get water in Munak Canal. Tough days ahead for Delhi," he tweeted.
The Supreme Court today would be hearing Delhi government's petition seeking Centre's intervention for the uninterrupted supply of water.
The areas affected due to the closure of plants are West Delhi, North-West, Central, South and part of North Delhi. "Against the total production of 820 Million Gallons per day (MGD) of potable water, only 240 MGD is being produced, because of the disruption of the supply source from Haryana. DJB's tanker fleet has been fully redirected to the water deficient areas. The situation at Wazirabad is being constantly monitored. In this emergent situation, the people of Delhi are requested to use water with the utmost care," a statement by the Delhi Jal Board said.
