Punjab Resolution Likely Amid Water Row With Hry
Hindustan Times Bengaluru
|May 05, 2025
A one-day session of the Punjab assembly, scheduled to be held on Monday, is likely to pass a resolution against "hampering Punjab's interest" by forcing it to give surplus water to Haryana.
CHANDIGARH: The session comes amid a heated political debate over the distribution of water from the Bhakra Nangal dam amid partner states.
Officials aware of the matter said the resolution is also expected to demand appointment of officials/engineers from Punjab on the Bhakra Beas Management Board (BBMB) in the proportion decided in the Punjab Reorganisation Act of 1966. The BBMB, controlled by the Union Jal Shakti ministry, regulates water distribution from the Bhakra, Pong and Ranjit Sagar dams.
The House is expected to reject Haryana's demand for surplus water and may also demand that distribution of water from the state dams and rivers between the partner states be reworked due to a fall in water level in these dams over the past years.
