Haryana threatens to steal Punjab
waters
WSN Network
Chandigarh: CM
Parkash Singh Badal has asked PM Dr Manmohan Singh to intervene
immediately to prevent the Haryana government from “unlawfully
accessing” water from the Bhakra Main Line (BML) for the
Hansi-Butana canal. Haryana has threatened to commit such plain
robbery and the issue may snowball into a major political crisis
between the two states.
Haryana is busy
preparing grounds for puncturing the BML to draw water from the
canal. Massive digging machinery has been moved to the BML banks.
