The Delhi Jal Board has written to the Centre, the Haryana government and the city administration over a blockade being built 17 km downstream of the Tajewala barrage on Yamuna river.

It said the blockade could hit water supply in the national capital if remedial action was not taken immediately.

In a tweet, Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said, "A conspiracy is underway to stop water supply to Delhi ahead of the elections in the city. A bund is being built 17 km downstream of the Tajewala Barrage in Haryana for this purpose. Do you want the people of Delhi to die of thirst, Modiji?"
