Claim: Photo depicting the current water crisis in Delhi.
Fact-check: 2009 photo is being shared as that depicting the current water crisis in Delhi - FACTLY
Verdict: the photo was taken on 30 june 2009 in sanjay colony, new delhi by photographer adnan abidi, for the international news agency reuters. in 2009, the cm of delhi was sheila dikshit, and responding to the news then, she had given directives to tackle the burgeoning water crisis. on 16 june 2021, lg anil baijal called for a detailed report from the delhi jal board on the water crisis in the city amid complaints of water shortage. hence the claim made in the post is misleading.
