Facing Drinking Water Issues: Haryana CM on Water Row with Punjab
The state of Haryana is grappling with issues related to drinking water, with Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini recently expressing his concerns over the matter. The water row between Haryana and Punjab has been ongoing for some time, with the Bhakra Beas Management Board (BBMB) recently ordering the release of an additional 8,500 cusecs of water to Haryana. In a recent statement, the Haryana CM emphasized the need for Punjab to implement the decision taken by the BBMB to release Haryana’s share of water.
According to sources, the BBMB had decided to release an additional 8,500 cusecs of water to Haryana, taking into account the state’s growing demand for drinking water. However, Punjab has been slow to implement this decision, leading to tensions between the two states.
In a recent statement, Haryana CM Nayab Singh Saini urged Punjab to release Haryana’s share of water, stating that the people of both states should maintain peace and stability. The CM emphasized that the water row between the two states was not just a matter of politics, but was also a matter of life and death for the people of both states.
The water row between Haryana and Punjab has been ongoing for some time, with both states claiming that the other is not releasing its share of water. The BBMB, which is responsible for managing the waters of the Beas and Sutlej rivers, has been attempting to mediate the dispute.
However, despite efforts to resolve the issue, the water row continues to simmer, causing tension between the two states. The people of Haryana are facing difficulties in getting access to clean drinking water, with the state’s water scarcity being exacerbated by the dispute with Punjab.
The water row has also had an impact on the economy of both states, with farmers and industries in both states being affected by the lack of water. The dispute has also led to concerns over the long-term sustainability of the region’s water resources.
In his statement, Haryana CM Nayab Singh Saini emphasized the need for Punjab to release Haryana’s share of water, stating that the people of both states should maintain peace and stability. The CM also appealed to the people of Punjab to understand the situation and to co-operate with the Haryana government in resolving the issue.
The water row between Haryana and Punjab is not the first time that the two states have clashed over water. In the past, there have been several instances of tensions between the two states over water, with both sides accusing each other of not releasing their share of water.
However, the current situation is particularly dire, with both states facing severe water scarcity due to a combination of factors, including drought, climate change, and population growth. The dispute has also highlighted the need for better water management practices in both states.
In conclusion, the water row between Haryana and Punjab is a serious issue that needs to be resolved urgently. The people of both states are facing difficulties in getting access to clean drinking water, and the dispute is having an impact on the economy of both states. The Haryana CM’s appeal to Punjab to release Haryana’s share of water is a step in the right direction, and we hope that the two states can work together to resolve the issue and ensure that the people of both states have access to clean drinking water.
