Delhi Water Minister Atishi continued her indefinite fast, which enters the second day on Saturday, over the water crisis in the national capital. She offered prayers at a temple on the second day of her indefinite fast over the issue. Later, in a video message from her 'Jal Satyagrah' venue at Bhogal in south Delhi, Atishi said she would not eat anything till Haryana releases more water for the people in the city, 28 lakh of whom she said were water shortage. The minister sat on indefinite fast on Friday, alleging that Haryana was not releasing Delhi's rightful share of water in Yamuna.
