ITO barrage row: Delhi govt says Haryana govt apprised of issue in past

New Delhi, Jul 17 (PTI) Amid a controversy over the maintenance of ITO barrage here, the Delhi government on Monday said the matter was raised with the Haryana government on many occasions in the past.

Reacting to the AAP-led Delhi government's claims that the gates of the ITO barrage in Delhi maintained by the Haryana government had jammed due to silt accumulation, Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Sunday said the AAP never mentioned that such a problem could come up.

Khattar has formed a two-member fact-finding committee to look into the jammed gates of the ITO barrage on the Yamuna river.  The issue snowballed into a blame game between the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) as many parts of the national capital were inundated by a raging Yamuna that flowed well over danger mark
