The dispute between the punjab and haryana governments is at its peak on the issue of giving additional water from the Bhakra Dam. Meanwhile, the Union home Secretary held a meeting with the Bhakra Beas Management Board (BBMB) keeping in mind the immediate water requirements of haryana for the next 8 days. The meeting discussed the decision of the Bhakra Beas Management Board (BBMB) to release additional 4500 cusecs of water to meet the immediate water needs of haryana and parts of Rajasthan.
The meeting was attended by senior officials of the government of India, BBMB partner states punjab, rajasthan and haryana and BBMB. After discussion in the meeting, it was suggested that the decision of BBMB to release additional 4500 cusecs of water for the next 8 days to meet the immediate water requirements of haryana from the Bhakra Dams should be implemented.
BBMB has the right to call a meeting on Haryana's issue
It was also agreed that during the period of filling of the dams, BBMB will provide this additional water to punjab to meet any of their additional requirements. Also, BBMB will immediately call a board meeting to implement the decision to release additional water to Haryana. Let us tell you that the dispute over water escalated when punjab Chief minister Bhagwant Mann warned the Center and BBMB about the decision taken on water. cm Mann had said in his warning that anyone should try to take Punjab's water.
No one can take water by bypassing punjab - Bhagwant Mann
Bhagwant Mann said that BBMB has tried to loot Punjab's water by issuing a dictatorial order, on the basis of morality, according to the population of haryana, 1700 cusecs of water is required for drinking. Despite this, 4000 cusecs of water is being given to it. Now haryana and BBMB have resorted to hooliganism. He has forgotten that punjab has a 60 percent share in BBMB. No one can take water bypassing Punjab.
