Amid the political hullabaloo on SYl issue in Haryana and neighbouring Punjab, Haryana Congress on Friday urged the Narendra Modi led-NDA Government to construct the Sutlej Yamuna link (SYl) Canal after the Supreme Court’s verdict.
“The SC has declared as ‘unconstitutional’ a law enacted by the Punjab Government in 2004 to wriggle out of its liability of constructing disputed canal and share the Ravi-Beas waters with neighbouring States. Now, it is the responsibility of the Centre to intervene and get the SYl constructed to ensure that Haryana gets its water share from Punjab,” said Congress spokesperson and Haryana MlA Randeep Singh Surjewala said.
Surjewala said, “Sutlej Yamuna link’s formation is developmental sign for Haryana. We welcome the decision given by the Supreme Court which directed Centre to make SYl canal for Haryana.”
