SHIMLA:
In a letter written to Union Minister for Power and Renewable Energy R K Singh, deputy chief minister has reminded the centre about a decision taken in the 124th meeting of the BBMB held on January 19 and 20,1987 recognising the state as a partner state in the BBMB assets.
Also, in 2011, the Supreme Court in its landmark decision had ruled in favour of the state asking the BBMB and other partner states—Haryana, Punjab and Rajasthan to grant 7.1 per cent share of the power, besides paying arrears since 1967.
“The decisions of 1987 and 2011 are still to be implemented” he pointed out.
To break down the matter to the state’s right on the water, Agnihotri—who also holds the portfolio of Jal Shakti, reminded that no allocation of the water has been made to the state out of Sutlej water and surplus Ravi-Beas water as Bhakra-Nangal agreement 1959 and inter-state agreement dated 31-12-1981.
