Farmers Protest Haryana's Bhakra Water Shortage, Demand Adequate Supply
Farmers from Fatehabad, Sirsa, and Hisar are protesting an irrigation water shortage linked to Haryana's reduced share from the Bhakra Beas Management Board (BBMB). INLD leader Sampat Singh criticized the BJP-led Haryana government for weak representation in the BBMB and inadequate maintenance of irrigation infrastructure, resulting in limited water supply during key sowing seasons. Protesters demand regular water supply and restoration of Haryana's rightful BBMB representation. The INLD has pledged support for the farmers' ongoing struggle.
