Why is Atishi on a hunger strike?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\nAtishi started the strike amid the political tug-of-war on the water crisis. She alleged that the Haryana government is not releasing Delhi’s share of water. She stated on Monday that for the last three weeks, Haryana has reduced the supply of water to Delhi.<\/caption>\n

\"Fast<\/div>\nAtishi said, “The Haryana government has been giving 100 MGD less water to Delhi for the last 3 weeks. And until 28 lakh Delhiites get water, my indefinite fast will continue.” She added, “Today is the fourth day of my indefinite fast. I am on a fast because there is a huge shortage of water in Delhi. Delhi does not have its own water. All the water comes from neighbouring states. For the last 3 weeks, Haryana has reduced the supply of water to Delhiites.”<\/caption>\n

\"Health<\/div>\nShe said that she would continue with her fast no matter how bad her health was till the time the Haryana government provided water for 28 lakh Delhiites. “Yesterday, the doctor came and examined me. He said that my BP is getting low, my sugar is getting low, I am losing weight. He also said that the ketone level has increased a lot. The doctor advised that it is not good for the ketone level to increase so much. It can damage the body, it can harm health. But no matter how bad my health is, no matter how much pain my body is in, my resolve to do this fast is strong,” she added.<\/caption>\n

Delhi ministers write to PM<\/h2>\n<\/div>\nDelhi cabinet ministers have written a letter to Prime Narendra Modi and urged him to resolve the water crisis in the national capital on a priority basis, Environment minister Gopal Rai said on Monday. “We also invite Delhi Lt Governor VK Saxena, all officers to Wazirabad, Bawana to see the readings of flow metres and see the water levels of the river there. Data is available for the water released by Haryana and they can see for themselves how the water has reduced,” he said.
