Haryana Development and Panchayat Minister, Krishan Lal Panwar, has criticised the Punjab government for stopping Haryana’s share of water.
Krishan Lal Panwar said Punjab is deliberately playing politics and stopping Haryana’s rightful water, which is completely wrong and condemnable. He appealed to the Punjab government to stop politicising the issue and release Haryana’s full share of water.
Panwar said that Haryana needs 9,500 cusecs of water for drinking purposes, but Punjab has reduced the supply and is only providing around 4,000 cusecs. He condemned this decision. Recently, during the BBMB meeting, a decision was taken to give water, but the Punjab government is cutting this water, which is absolutely wrong, he added.
Haryana has a right to SYL Water
Panwar said the water flows from Delhi via the Munak head. He said that even when the Aam Aadmi Party was in power in Delhi, they never cut the water supply. But now the Punjab government is deliberately doing politics. He further said that Punjab is also politicising the issue of SYL water, to which Haryana has a rightful claim. The Supreme Court has already given its verdict in Haryana’s favor, so Punjab should comply and provide Haryana its share of SYL water.
Give Haryana its share of water, stop playing politics says Development and Panchayat Minister Krishan Lal Panwar said that Congress leaders say one thing when in Punjab- that Haryana won’t get any SYL water and say the opposite when they are in Haryana, claiming the state has a right to SYL water. Congress is only using the issue for political gain and is not genuinely concerned about the public’s needs, said the Minister.
