Jal Yuddh: The prolonged summertime significantly impact water sources including groundwater

leading to severe water scarcity. Several areas in Delhi such as Chanakyapuri's Sanjay Camp, Geeta

Colony in East Delhi, Patel Nagar, Mehrauli, and Chhatarpur, witnessed one of the worst water

crises this year. Residents in these urban poor pockets of the city, scramble to fill their containers as a

water tanker arrives, while the posh pockets are reportedly fined by the municipal corporation for

wasting water. Photo: Mukul Singh Chauhan

Golgappe or Fulki or Pani Batasha: A

street vendor carries a large container

of golgappas (a popular street snack

that may be called water balls in

English) over his head. The vendor,

damp with sweat says, “For the last six

years, I have walked past these streets

selling golgappas. I am the only earning

member in a family of five, daily sales

directly impact my family.” His story is

a powerful reminder of how extreme

weather affects communities differently.

Hence, the most affected are the ones

with the least resources.
