India caste unrest: `Ten million without water` in Delhi
Mr Chandra said that prior warnings meant that people had managed to save water, and tankers had been dispatched to affected areas of the city, but that this would not be enough to make up for the shortfall.
Schools in the city were also closed after supplies from the canal were sabotaged during the protests.

The army took control of parts of the canal on Monday morning, but repairs are expected to take time.

The BBC`s Sanjoy Majumder who is near Delhi`s border with neighbouring Haryana state, said protesters who have set up road blocks are refusing to budge.

"We don`t trust them. Let`s get something in writing. Let them spell it out," one demonstrator who refused to be named told the BBC.
