Badal had said last week that Punjab "did not have a single drop of water to spare from its rivers. The Congress said that it will not allow Punjab's water to be shared through the Sutlej-Yamuna Link (SYL) Canal with neighboring Haryana. Both Punjab and Haryana have been locked in a bitter war of words over sharing of river waters.
These states are unwilling to give up their respective stand on the controversial canal issue. The government will not allow Punjab’s water to be shared through the Sutlej-Yamuna Link (SYL) Canal with neighboring Haryana. Punjab is not in a condition to share even a drop of water with others”. Large number of activists raised slogans and expressed solidarity over not sharing the water of with the neighboring state, Haryana.
CM said that “Punjab is not to tolerate nor allow any unjust decision on SYL and river waters to be forcibly imposed on Punjab”. The resolution said that Punjab had always been discriminated against by the central government on various issues, especially water sharing. It is the situation of “extremely grave and dangerous”. The foundation stone of the SYL canal was laid in April 1982 by then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. The SYL Canal is entangled in a political and legal quagmire with Punjab and Haryana states unwilling to share river water.
As we all know that Punjab government is doing a lot for the farmers and their issues. No one will have to strive .every person can live fruitful life. Now the water problems will also be solved. As government has decided not to give Punjab water will only Punjab people can use their water and can resolve their problems related to water.
