Haryana government on Thursday approached the Supreme Court for stalling Punjab’s move to obstruct the construction of the Sutlej-Yamuna Link (SYL) canal meant for carrying the waters of Ravi and Beas rivers. A Bench headed by Justice Anil R Dave accepted Haryana’s plea for an urgent hearing and listed the matter for November 21.
Appearing for Haryana, senior advocate Jagdeep Dhankar said the dispute over sharing Ravi-Beas waters had become an explosive issue in the wake of the steps being taken by Punjab in the past few days to frustrate apex court’s rulings. “We have given our opinion on the presidential reference. But states are fighting with each other. Something has to be done,” the Bench said in response to Haryana’s plea.
