Today, 14th May, The High Court has sought a response on Punjab’s plea to recall the order directing release of extra water to Haryana, following a May 2 meeting chaired by the Union Home Secretary on the Bhakra Nangal issue.
The Punjab and Haryana High Court has prohibited the Punjab government from interfering in the Bhakra Dam’s operations, emphasizing that the Bhakra Beas Management Board (BBMB) must manage the dam independently. The court ordered an immediate water release of 4,500 cusecs to Haryana and underscored the importance of legal channels for disputes.
