CHANDIGARH: Congress MLAs on Monday questioned the Haryana government on the fate of Dadupur Nalvi Irrigation scheme following a high court order striking down a provision to de-notify the land for the irrigation scheme.

The contentious issue was argued during the question hour on the second day of the assembly session when parliamentary affairs minister Mahi-pal Dhanda answered in negative a starred question asked by the Congress MLA from Ambala City, Nirmal Singh.

The Congress MLA had asked whether the Punjab and Haryana High Court had passed a judgement for the re-construction of Dadupur Nalvi canal and the action likely to be taken by the state government in this regard. The parliamentary affairs minister said if the high court has given a decision to this effect (ordering re-construction of Dadupur Nalvi canal), then the government would like to see a copy of the order.
