INLD Leader Supports Chanot Protest for Bhakra Pipeline Water Connection
INLD leader Abhay Singh Chautala joined a dharna in Chanot village, Hansi district, demanding a water connection from the Bhakra pipeline. He alleged the Haryana government denied the village its share, citing the AMRUT scheme as an excuse, and claimed the T-joint installation was approved by Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini but removed following political pressure. The district administration halted pipeline work after objections from the National Highways Authority of India regarding highway widening plans. Chautala also criticized opposition leaders for not supporting the protest.
