Mohammad Rafiq is the only one works as a bhishti around Jama Masjid. He lives close to the Hare Bhare Shah Dargah adjacent to the mosque and earn Rs 200-250 per day. “ Sometime the daily profit is just Rs100. That is just not enough to survive. I do it to keep the tradition alive, but do not know how long it will last,” he says. The demand of water is now extremely limited and Rafiq needs to work just couple of hours to finish the job. A few decodes ago, bhishtis were called to spray water on the ground during outdoor events, such as exhibitions, but that practice has also declined.

Chand Miyan sells flavoured drinks at Jama Masjid and is one of the few vendors using water supplied by the bhishtis. On average, he buys about 100 litres of water a day. “Most stall owners now use bottled water, but I only use the sweet water from the well inside the Hare Bhare Shah Dargah to make the sharbat,” he says

About 500 m for the Jama Masjid us Sakkon Wali Gali, a lane named after uts occupants (“sakka” also means water carrier). “Bhishtis were settled here during the reign of the Mugal emperor Shahjahan. Our ancestors supplied water to the fort,” says 56-year-old Aqa Bhai, a resident. The lane once teemed with bhishti families, but of the 100-odd resident living there now, none work as water carriers. Mohammad Ali, the last person who lived here and worked as a water carrier, died two years ago.

A coal mine worker in Dhanbad, Jharkhand, a state that accounted for 17 per cent of India’s coal production in 2020-21. In May this year, the Union government has allowed existing mines to increase production capacity by 50 per cent within the same lease area without a revised environmental assessment or public consultation, to address the power crisis across the country due to a shortage of coal and fuel. The Centre has also instructed miners to accelerate output before the onset of the monsoon in late June.

Women carry illegally mined coal from the active Godhar open-cast project in Jharkhand’s Dhanbad district. Illegal mining is rampant even in closed mines and it is responsible for frequent accidents, which can be avoided if mining companies refill their abandoned coal pits

With Delhi facing a heatwave since the onset of summer, water levels in the Yamuna are critically low, threatening supplies to parts of the national capital. Officials with the Delhi Jal Board said on April 30 that the water level in the Wazirabad pond, an important reservoir of the Yamuna, has dropped by 20cm, affecting its daily lifting of nearly 3,400 litres per second. To replenish the pond, the Board has approached Haryana to release 4,250litres of water per second through the river until the monsoon.
