On Saturday, the Delhi Congress staged 'matka phod' protests in response to the ongoing water crisis in the national capital. Protesters across 280 blocks wielded earthen pots, which they later shattered, demanding immediate governmental action.

Led by Delhi Congress chief Devender Yadav, the demonstrators called for a special assembly session to address the worsening issue. Yadav accused the Delhi government of ineffectively handling the crisis, forcing residents to depend on water tankers.

Meanwhile, Water Minister Atishi highlighted the continuous decline in water production, blaming Haryana for not releasing Delhi's share of water. The water production figures have seen a steady decrease, impacting the Yamuna river's supply significantly.
