Congress Kaithal MLA Aditya Surjewala has criticised the BJP government over the deteriorating quality of drinking water in Haryana, citing data presented by the government in the State Assembly during the monsoon session.
Palwal and Nuh were among the worst affected. Palwal’s average TDS rose 74% in three years, from 940 to 1,636 mg/L, while Nuh’s Indri block recorded 1,974 mg/L, nearly double its 2022 level.
He said some drinking water sources had TDS levels as high as 9,553 mg/L, against the acceptable limit of 500 mg/L.
“Water quality is not improving; instead, it is deteriorating every year under the BJP government,” Mr. Surjewala said.
He also questioned the continued dependence on groundwater, noting that Faridabad, Gurugram, Palwal, Panchkula and Yamunanagar remain 100% dependent on it, despite Haryana’s extensive canal network and repeated plans for canal-based water supply.
