Water cannon used on BJP workers protesting over Delhi water crisis

The police used water cannons to disperse Delhi BJP leaders and workers as they tried to cut the water connection to Delhi Jal Board chairman (DJB) Satyendar Jain's house on Monday to protest the alleged poor water supply in the city. The protesters also threatened to cut off the water supply to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's residence if the issue is not resolved within the next two days.

Delhi BJP chief Adesh Gupta said that the water cannons were used on party leaders while they were protesting outside the residence of state Health Minister Satyendra Jain.
