AAP Protests Delhi Water Minister Over Sangam Vihar Scarcity
People in a neighborhood called Sangam Vihar were very upset because their water supply was cut off.
The city had stopped sending water trucks, which they relied on.
The AAP political party joined the residents to protest against the government.
They believe the government is not doing enough to help and might be sending the water to other areas.
Some people were even taken by the police during the protest.
They want their water back urgently or a permanent pipe to bring water to their homes.
AAP MLA Prem Chauhan led a protest in Sangam Vihar with residents against the Delhi Water Minister.
The protest was sparked by the removal of municipal water tankers, causing a severe water shortage.
Several protesters, including AAP workers and residents, were detained by the Delhi Police.
AAP accused the BJP-led government of creating the water crisis and diverting tankers to a BJP constituency.
Protesters demanded the immediate restoration of water tankers or a permanent pipeline supply.
