Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal visited the Wazirabad Water Treatment Plant on July 13. The Plant has currently been shut down owing to the rise in the water level of Yamuna river. "We are at the Wazirabad Water Treatment Plant. For the first time in Delhi, Yamuna has touched this level. Three Water Treatment Plants have been shut down due to this as the water has entered pumps and machines. 25 per cent of the water supply in Delhi will go down due to this. The tubewells are closed too. There can be water scarcity for a day or two. I hope that the supply resumes by tomorrow evening," said Arvind Kejriwal while speaking to ANI. Several areas of Delhi are now under water as the water level of river Yamuna continues to rise. Heavy rainfall and the release of water from Hathnikund Barrage in neighbouring Haryana have swelled Yamuna.
