Chandigarh, April 20
Punjab Finance Minister Harpal Singh Cheema on Wednesday said that not a single drop of water from Punjab will be given to another state.
This comes after, Punjab Congress Committee (PCC) president Amrinder Singh Raja Warring Warring on Tuesday asked Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann since “the enemy is at the gates, what are your preparations”. He asked him to “take all parties into confidence and prepare legal and administrative strategies in view of Haryana planning to file a contempt petition in the Supreme Court on the SYL issue. “The time to act is now, lest we may be too late,” he warned the Chief Minister.
The PCC president said two disturbing developments had taken place in the past two days. The Haryana Government was planning to approach the SC seeking implementation of its orders on construction of the SYL, while the AAP had announced that SYL water would reach every field by 2025, he said.
