NEW DELHI: The fight between Delhi and Haryana over supply of water, or lack of it, to the national capital today prompted the Delhi High Court to remark whether this is a "banana republic".
"Two states of the country are fighting with each other. Is this a banana republic?" a bench of justices B D Ahmed and Siddharth Mridul asked after hearing the allegations levelled against each other by Delhi Jal Board (DJB) and Haryana's irrigation department.
The two sides could not agree even on the issue of whom to appoint for measuring the supply of water in Munak, with Haryana saying no Delhi-based expert or institute shall undertake the exercise, while DJB arguing that no central authority will carry out the measurement.
