The Supreme Court today agreed to give urgent hearing on Monday to a Delhi Government petition seeking the Centre's intervention for the uninterrupted supply of water from Munak Canal in Haryana which is allegedly under siege of the Jat agitators demanding reservation.

The petition was moved last night in which a plea was also made that the Centre should deploy army to ensure supply of water from the Munak Canal.

Delhi is facing a huge water shortage in the wake of the Jat stir in Haryana.
