‘Center attitude discrimination’, Man Niti Aayog raised the issue of water conflict at the meeting at the meeting, knowing what to say
There is a water dispute between Punjab and Haryana. Meanwhile, NITI Aayog’s 10th Governing Council meeting was held in Delhi on Saturday. In this, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann questioned the Center’s attitude towards the dispute of water partnership with Haryana and condemned the central government for deploying the CISF on Bhakra in Nangal Dam. He used the words ‘untrustworthy’ and ‘inappropriate and undesirable’ for the center’s behavior with Punjab.
According to a statement, Man insisted that there was no additional water to give Punjab to any state and he called for the construction of the Yamuna-Sattuj-Link (YSL) canal on the Sutlej Yamuna Link (CL) canal to reduce the serious situation. He said that the rivers of Ravi, Bees and Suttlez are already in losses and that water should be sent to the deficit basins.
Yamuna water distribution problem has been increased
Man said that Punjab had repeatedly joined the Punjab conversation for the allocation of Yamuna-Satuz-Link project under the Yamuna-Satuz-Link Project, which was signed between Punjab and Uttar Pradesh on March 12, 1954, and gave the Punjab a two-quarters of Yamuna water. He said that the area was not mentioned in the agreement by Yamuna in the agreement, and that before the reorganization, Yamuna, such as Ravi and Bees, flowed through Punjab.
He expressed Rief Kham that he did not consider Yamuna when the river was distributing water between Punjab and Haryana, while Ravi and Bees were considered. Addressing the 1972 report of the Irrigation Commission at the central level, Mann said that Punjab (after 1966, after its rebuilding) comes into the Yamuna River Basin, so if there is a claim on the Ravi and Bees reverse water in Haryana, Punjab must also have equal rights on Yamuna water.

BBMB’s attitude bias: value
He said these requests were ignored due to lack of storage structure on Yamuna and that water was wasted. The Chief Minister also accused the Bhakra Beas Management Board (BBMB) of the “bias” policy in the case. Man claimed that Punjab was very generous in sharing water with its partner states to meet drinking water and other needs, but the state depends on its groundwater reserves, especially for rice irrigation.
As a result, the state’s groundwater level has been greatly reduced and 115 (76.10 per cent) of its 153 blocks has been exploited, which is the highest in all states. He said that with the construction of sophisticated canal, Punjab is fighting for lack of water and its share from the rivers is not enough to meet its needs.
‘BBMB gives more water to Haryana more than limit’
He alleged that the BBMB did not advise other partner states to control Haryana to release water, despite repeatedly requests, and that as a result, its share has ended by March 30. On a humanitarian basis, Punjab has decided to release 4,000 cussek water to Haryana, but BBMB has ignored the Punjab’s benefits and has decided to release 8,500 cusec water to Haryana despite serious objections.
Man called this action against the provisions of the spirit and law and demanded the BBMB to prevent himself and act within the law. He told the House that Punjab had repeatedly requested BBMB to bring financial discretion to its operation, but had no benefit. He urged the Punjab authorities in BBMB to be brutal and ignored and that they should adopt a transparent and neutral policy in their behavior with the two states.
Demand to remove CISC expansion
When the CSSC was deployed on the Bhakra Nangal dams, the security of the dams was only the security of the states from their construction. He said that the deployment of the Ministry of the Ministry of Punishment is unnecessary as the Punjab rights are further reduced in relation to these dams and that there is no need to disturb the well -established operational system. Man requested to cancel the expansion. (PTI)
