SYL canal won't be built, no spare water to share, says Punjab cabinet
The Morning Standard
|October 06, 2023
A day after the Supreme Court asked the Union government to conduct a survey of the land meant for the construction of the Sutlej-Yamuna Link (SYL) canal in Punjab to know how much work has been done and asked the Punjab Government to extend co-operation in the survey, the Punjab cabinet on Thursday said that there is no question of construction of the SYL canal as the state does not have any spare water to share with other states.
It firmly said that the Satluj river has already dried up and there is no question of sharing even a single drop of water from it. It was also observed that 76.5% blocks in Punjab (117 out of 153) are over-exploited where the stage of ground water extraction is more than 100 %, whereas in Haryana only 61.5 % (88 out of 143) are over-exploited.

Flavour Factory
In 2018, Raipur brothers Akash and Ashish Agrawalla founded ZOFF Foods—short for “Zone of Fresh Foods”—with a bold idea: revive the forgotten aroma of Indian spices using zero-human-touch processing and cool grinding technology. Early skeptics were silenced when a Delhi retailer toured their fully automated, dust-free plant and came away impressed. ZOFF now employs a workforce that is 70 per cent from Chhattisgarh, with senior leaders choosing Raipur over metro cities. Its spices travel far beyond the state, reaching homes across India and even the Middle East. Running a business from a Tier II city, CEO Akash admits, has its hurdles—limited packaging vendors, testing labs, and slower freight timelines—but the benefits are clear: lower costs, access to fresh raw materials, and a community that celebrates their growth as its own.
