Delhi Minister Alleges Religious Discrimination in Water Supply
The Delhi water minister, Parvesh Verma, said that the previous government in Delhi treated people unfairly based on their religion.
He said that people in the Ballimaran area didn't get basic things like water because of this.
Verma is now looking into how water connections were given out and will decide if any illegal ones need to be fixed or if there were any issues.
He believes that everyone should get the same services, no matter their religion.
Parvesh Verma alleged religious discrimination in Ballimaran under the previous Delhi government.
Verma claimed residents faced discrimination in getting water connections in the walled city.
Verma visited the Nabi Kareem area to inspect drainage and water supply systems.
Verma stated the previous government failed to provide equitable development.
Illegal water connections issued will be reviewed and potentially regularized.
