Chandigarh, May 2: Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann is chairing an all-party meeting in Chandigarh following the Bhakra Beas Management Board’s (BBMB) directive to release 8,500 cusecs of water to Haryana—an increase of 4,500 cusecs over previous allocations.
In response to the order, the Punjab government has convened a special session of the Vidhan Sabha on May 5 to pass a resolution addressing the issue. The move is seen as a significant development in the ongoing inter-state water sharing dispute.
