New Delhi: The Election Commission of India (ECI) on Monday sought a factual report from Haryana on allegations made by Delhi Chief Minister Atishi about ammonia levels in water supply from the neighbouring state.
The chief ministers of Delhi and Punjab moved the ECI on Monday, alleging higher ammonia levels in the water supplied from Haryana to the national capital to adversely impact supply during the ongoing assembly poll process.
Sources said the EC directed the Haryana government to submit a factual report on the matter by noon on Tuesday.
The 70-member Delhi Assembly goes to the polls on February 5 and the votes will be counted on February 8.
Delhi Assembly Election 2025 | The first of two state assembly polls this year sees a three-way contest between AAP, Congress, and BJP in the nation's capital. AAP decided to contest the polls alone, causing rumours of a rift in I.N.D.I.A. BJP, meanwhile, is hoping the liquor excise policy scam and pollution in Delhi will give the saffron party an edge over AAP. Kejriwal, on the other hand, has different plans with his demand for reservations for Delhi Jats. Congress will also be looking to make its presence felt and has not held back from attacking its own alliance partner.
