Chandigarh The long-running dispute between Haryana and Punjab over the Sutlej-Yamuna Link (SYL) canal has once again been hot. The Union Water Power Minister has asked the Chief Ministers of both the states Naib Singh Saini and Bhagwant Mann to sit face to face once again. This is a chance to show knowledge, but history claims … This task will not be easy.
The letter came … no solution!
Now directly Union Minister C.R. Patil has been approached. The Chief Ministers have received a letter, urging them to “sit, talk and find solutions”. “Probably there will be a meeting in Delhi on 10 July. Will it be a meeting once again or will something change?
SC passed baton, now race to center
In May, the Supreme Court had clearly said: “Now the time has come that the central government became a judge as not just the audience.” After handing over the role of an intermediary to the Minister of Jal Shakti, the court now has this letter to fulfill that instruction. Although history is witness: Earlier events were also interacted. Photos were taken. Statements were given. Everything became calm, except SYL’s name.
What is the root of the quarrel?
The SYL Canal is a promise that has never been fulfilled. And this is a pain that never ends. Haryana argues: “Give us our share!” Punjab says: “Where is the water, why do you give?” In addition, the problem is still that the canal is incomplete, destroyed.
The matter is not of flow, but of effect
Talking about SYL, it is not just a matter of industries, it is also a matter of assembly seats, vote bank and state’s reputation. This problem arises before every election and falls asleep again after every meeting.
Then a letter – but what will be the effect? ”
This time political equations have changed in both states. Naib Saini in Haryana and Bhagwant Mann in Punjab – both came to power in the name of “Chief Minister of the people”. “Is this to be seen. Will the water of the public let both stand on the same table? Or will this letter cool like other letters?
The fields are empty, but the pain is full
The decisions that dry up the SYL canal are more than just one drain. It has become a symbol of one of the most important “water-political” conflicts in the country. Now it remains to be seen whether water will flow in Delhi on July 10 .. or the attitude of conversation will go in a different direction.
