Ammonia very high in Yamuna, will share detailed report by evening, says AAP's Kapil Mishra


The Aam Aadmi Party minister Kapil Mishra in his tweet today said that three water plants have been shut down in Delhi due to increased level of ammonia.He also claimed to be verifying evidences at the moment and might release a factual report by today evening.

Amonia again very high in Yamuna. 3 plants shut down. Water supply affected in north and central Delhi.

Mishra's tweet reflects on the water crisis that has pushed the national capital in a quagmire. After the Jat row that stalled all the water supply to Delhi, it is now the high content of Ammonia that has aggravated the water woes.

The Delhi Jal board has recently shut Wazirabad, Chandrawal and Okhla water treatment plants on grounds of sudden rise in the level of ammonia in Yamuna.

This may aggravate the crisis in several north and old Delhi areas, including prominent government hospitals like GB Pant Hospital, Lok Nayak Hospital, Maulana Azad Medicial College and Hindu Rao Hospital may be affected. "Due to the sudden rise in the level of ammonia in Yamuna, supply at Wazirabad pond and production at Wazirabad and Chandrawal plants have been stopped," a senior Delhi Jal Board official said.

Rising pollution level in water reservoirs is threatening to aggravate the crisis in the Capital. The crisis was triggered by the damage caused to Munak canal during the Jat quota stir which is yet to be fully repaired. Sources said that Drain 8, which supplies water to the Wazirabad pond, is being contaminated by sewer water because of which the pollution level is rising. The Wazirabad pond supplies water to Chandrawal, Wazirabad and Okhla water treatment plants, which have an output of 340 million gallons every day.

Water situation had improved in the national capital on Friday with most areas except Dwarka and Matiala receiving supply. The water level in Delhi Sub Branch (DSB) canal and recovery of the Wazirabad pond level have led to production from all water treatment plants except the one in Dwarka, Delhi Jal Board officials said.

"With the concerted efforts of Delhi and Haryana governments, around 400 cusecs of water was released through the Delhi Sub Branch (DSB) canal and around 500 cusecs via drain no. 2, through the Yamuna river course on Wednesday," officials said adding that Delhi Jal Board has already released an amount of `1 crore to Haryana for restoration of CLC.

Besides, four heavy earth movers and 18 dumpers have been deployed for restoring CLC and DJB officials are also monitoring the repair work taken up by the Haryana Irrigation Department.

Canadian authorities said Wednesday that a budding high school basketball star is actually a 29-year-old refugee from South Sudan. The Canadian Border Services Agency said that Jonathan Nicola was arrested earlier this week for contravening the country's Immigration Refugee Protection Act. The agency said Nicola "misrepresented material facts" on his application for a study permit to Canada, submitting an application with a date of birth of Nov. 25, 1998 — which would make him 17. The agency says when Nicola recently applied for a U.S. visitor visa, a fingerprint match determined he was an individual who had made a previous application to the U.S. using a date of birth of Nov. 1, 1986 — making him 29. The Windsor Star reported that Nicola was remanded into custody after a hearing before the country's Immigration and Refugee Board Tuesday. Another hearing is scheduled for next week. Nicola faces deportation if convicted Nicola was attending Catholic Central High S

She wanted to create something memorable, something that her son’s whole troop could enjoy. And did she deliver! The name of her son’s troop was the Cobra Den, so she decided to bake and decorate a cake that looked like a cobra. And she did—but she went way above and beyond. She got up at 5:00 in the morning, baked five separate Bundt cakes, and arranged them to create a six-foot-long slithering snake cake. Cutting the Bundt cakes in half, she put the halves end to end to make them look like a curving snake body. She used multiple batches of Rice Krispie Treat mix (which she also made) to sculpt the hooded head and pointy tail. Here are 12 baking mistakes you didn’t know you were making. With the cake put together, it was time for the frosting, which she also made herself. But she didn’t spread the frosting on the cake—she covered the whole thing with ti
