Delhi Minister Atishi, along with Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal's wife Sunita Kejriwal and others visited Rajghat to pay tributes to Mahatma Gandhi. In an X post, AAP leader said she would visit Rajghat as Gandhiji taught that the path of 'Satyagraha' must be adopted to struggle against injustice.

The Supreme Court has raised serious concerns regarding the ongoing water crisis in Delhi, specifically questioning the Delhi Government's efforts to combat the tanker mafia. During the hearing, the Court highlighted the unchecked activities of the tanker mafia.
Earlier in the day Atishi Marlena held a press conference and said that the water at the entry point is coming less and if there is any water theft, it is from the Haryana side. She had also said that the Munak canal repairing is the responsibility of Haryana government.
The honorarium was announced by Atishi Marlena during the budget for fiscal year 2024-25. According to the budgetary provision, non-tax paying women above 18 years of age were to get a monthly honorarium of Rs 1,000 per month.
In a post on X, Atishi said she is seeking an appointment with the Union Power Minister and the Chairman of PGCIL, to ensure such a situation is not repeated.
Delhi water crisis: Atishi said that Delhi is supposed to receive 1050 cusecs of water from the Munak Canal via the CLC (carrier-lined channel) and DSB (Delhi sub-branch) sub-canals. However, this has reduced to 840 cusecs.
