On Monday, the Supreme Court instructed the Central government to convene a meeting of stakeholders to address the Delhi government's request for additional water supply from Himachal Pradesh via Haryana [Government of NCT of Delhi v. State of Haryana and ors]. This order was issued by a Vacation Bench comprising Justices Prashant Kumar Mishra and KV Viswanathan after reviewing a petition from the Delhi government seeking directives for Haryana to facilitate water supply to the national capital from Himachal Pradesh."Why can't there be a joint meeting of all the stakeholders?" the Court inquired of Solicitor General (SG) Tushar Mehta at the start of the hearing. SG Mehta responded that the matter is currently under consideration by the Upper Yamuna River Board. However, he also highlighted the issue of water wastage in Delhi. The Delhi government needs to control leakages. Water loss exceeds 52% due to the tanker mafia and other factors, he stated.
