    SYL dispute: SC urges early "amicable solution" between Punjab, Haryana
  • The Supreme Court has directed Punjab and Haryana govt. to find an "amicable solution" to the longstanding Sutlej-Yamuna Link canal dispute.

    The Centre has invited both on April 20 to attempt an out-of-court settlement; if negotiations fail, the court would continue hearing the matter on April 27.

    "The Government of India is very keen to find a solution," said Solicitor General Ranjit Kumar.

  • In 2004, the Punjab government decided to scrap the water-sharing arrangements with neighbouring states and withdrew from giving water to other states.

    Punjab Assembly passes bill for scrapping SYL canal
    Credits:
  • The Punjab State Assembly unanimously passed a bill against the building of the Sutlej Yamuna Link (SYL) canal, in an attempt to divest its neighbouring states from getting water from Punjab's rivers.

    It also sought to transfer the land's proprietary rights back to the farmers free of cost.

    Leader of Opposition Charanjit Singh Channi supported the bill on behalf of the Congress Party.

    Punjab CM says Punjab has no water to 'spare'

  • Badal said: "Punjab does not have a drop of water to spare and there is no question of our accepting or implementing any decision which deprives us of our fundamental right" and sent a cheque to Haryana returning all the funds received from Haryana.

    Credits:
  • The Haryana assembly strongly objected to the bill passed by the Punjab assembly.

    CM Khattar said Punjab's decision to de-notify the land for the SYL canal was "unilateral, unconstitutional and denying the authority of the Supreme Court, a step only to draw political mileage".

    Further, Khattar returned Punjab's cheque for approximately "Rs. 191crore in lieu of all the funds it received for the project."
