Dam Safety Act attack on Punjab's rights, must be annulled: Resolution
May 06, 2025
|Hindustan Times Chandigarh
The resolution, moved by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government during a special session of the assembly, on Monday sought immediate annulment of Dam Safety Act-2021, calling it a direct attack on Punjab's rights.
CHANDIGARH:
Punjab water resources minister Barinder Kumar Goyal, who moved the resolution, said: "The BJP has been trying to take away the rights of Punjab through its governments in Haryana and at the Centre, and the BBMB."
"This law fully empowers the central government to directly control the rivers and dams of the states, even if the dam is entirely within the state's borders. This is against India's federal structure and undermines the sovereign right of states such as Punjab over their water. Therefore, this House demands from the central government that the Act be repealed immediately and Government of Punjab rejects it completely," Goyal said while reading out the resolution.
