Haryana’s industrial waste contaminating Delhi’s fresh water supply, says AAP leader

Delhi AAP unit president Saurabh Bharadwaj on Wednesday alleged that the national capital’s water treatment plants (WTP) failed to treat polluted water as Haryana allowed industrial waste to enter the capital’s freshwater supply, spiking ammonia to ‘poisonous’ levels.

Sharing a report, highlighting the NGT’s demand for clarity from the Haryana Government on the freshwater drain, Bharadwaj took to X and wrote, “This is exactly what Arvind Kejriwal said about Yamuna water contamination. Delhi’s water treatment plants failed to filter water because Haryana’s industrial waste entered fresh water of Delhi. Industrial waste increased ammonia levels in water making it poisonous. Earlier BJP and L-G called it false

propaganda by the AAP. Haryana Government had registered an FIR against Arvind Kejriwal.”

“Today, it’s acknowledged that sewage waste and industrial waste from Haryana’s drain 6 contaminates fresh water of Delhi. Lieutenant Governor and BJP must answer now,” the post concluded.

Bharadwaj also shared an old video stating, “We had shown live Google images of the site. We sent our teams on the ground, and they shared photographs with GPS coordinates, which clearly established that the water entering the

Yamuna in Delhi was not river water at all, it was industrial waste flowing in from Haryana.”

Bharadwaj said two drains, DD-8 and DD-2, bring industrial waste from areas such as Sonepat, Panipat, and that same contaminated water was reaching Delhi.
