SC tells Yamuna Board to decide on Delhi’s plea for more Hry water ASAP

Observing that it did not have expertise in deciding water sharing disputes among states, Supreme Court on Thursday asked Delhi govt to approach the Upper Yamuna River Board (UYRB) to seek 150 cusecs more water from Haryana to sort out the crisis in the national capital. Taking note of problems faced by Delhi residents, a bench of Justices Prashant Kumar Mishra and Prasanna B Varale directed UYRB to convene a meeting on Friday to decide on Delhi govt’s plea for an additional 150 cusecs water from Haryana at the earliest.
