New Delhi, March 19 (IANS) The AAP government in Delhi on Thursday hiked the water tariff by 10 percent a month for those households consuming more than the free supply of 20,000 litres per month.

"The Delhi Jal Board (DJB) has decided to increase the water tariff by 10 percent. The hike has been approved in order to keep the financial health of DJB intact," an official statement said.
