SC to hear Delhi Govt's water plea on 2 April

New Delhi, Mar 26: The Supreme Court on Monday decided to hear on April 2, Monday, the Delhi Government's plea seeking additional 120 cusecs of water from Haryana as certain parts of the city were facing an acute shortage of water due to the onslaught of the summer season. 

Delhi Government on Monday approached the apex court and submitted before it that there was an acute shortage of drinking water in various parts of Delhi and several areas were deprived of water. 
A three-judge bench of the apex court, headed by Chief Justice of India (CJI) Dipak Misra and also comprising Justices AM Khanwilkar and DY Chandrachud, said "we would hear the plea of the Delhi Jal Board on April 2, Monday."
Delhi Jal Board (DJB) had knocked the doors of the apex court seeking a direction from it on the issue of acute shortage of water in Delhi's certain areas. 
Delhi is getting 330 cusecs of water, but it pleaded to the apex court for an additional 120 cusecs of water as it was facing an acute shortage of water at present. 
The DJB in its plea sought a direction from the top court to the Haryana Government for providing additional 120 cusecs of water to Delhi. UNI
