Punjab Revisits Water-Sharing Disputes on 60th Reorganisation Anniversary
As Punjab marks 60 years since its reorganisation, longstanding disputes over river water sharing have resurfaced. The Punjab Assembly recently passed resolutions seeking a review of water-sharing agreements, royalties from Rajasthan, control over key headworks, and repeal of the Dam Safety Act. These moves follow government assurances to protesting farmers and highlight complex issues stemming from the 1966 division of Punjab, Haryana, and Rajasthan. The state's evolving political and social history frames ongoing challenges in managing water resources and regional relations.
