Punjab Irrigation Minister Barinder Kumar Goyal
5 main points of Punjab Irrigation Minister Barinder Kumar Gayal’s statement: Bhakra Dam has not wounded as much water
Goyal said that Bhakra Dam was built in 1963, at that time 370 villages of Punjab were destroyed. 27,000 acres of land is in dam. Millions of people became homeless from home, who have not received proper compensation till date. This dam has just wounds us. This dam was not given that much water. 65 percent of the water is taken from the dam to other states. We get 35 percent. We are not snatching anyone’s rights.
Protecting interests, this fire is intensified
Goyal said that we are protecting our interests, on which this fire is getting furious. Sometimes Himachal CM Sukhu said something, sometimes someone said something. Other states are pushing us. The share of Haryana was 2.987 MFA, it has used more than 3.019 MFA than its share. While he had to use this water by 21 May. We are the people who run the plan. Our Chief Minister, Minister, and my department is on it day and night. We have brought the water of canals to the fields. Our water has been reached nine percent.
We were not going to leave BBMB if we were wrong
Meeting is being called at the BBMB meeting. Even in the meeting, BBMB was not going to leave us if a single thing had been against us. Because the whole thing is in record. It is written in the record that Haryana and Punjab will get so much water. So BBMB people will not be able to order it. Center also asked Haryana about plan
Goyal said that the central government has also said in a meeting to Haryana that why you did not make your plan. The stand of Punjab is clear. We do not suppress anyone, we protect water and will continue to do it. Now these things are being exaggerated and speaking.
Congress silence on Sukhu’s statement
Himachal’s CM Sukhu, who is doing, Congress’s LOP Pratap Singh Bajwa or Principal Amarinder Singh and Raj Wading in Punjab agree with him. If they remain silent then it is also a betrayal with Punjab. They should tell whether they agree or not. We condemn Sukhu’s statement. Without means a bubble is raised, which they are promoting further.
All party meeting held in Haryana Earlier on the day, an all -party meeting has been held in Haryana on the 3rd. Also, a strategy was made to gather this matter and fight. At the same time, a lawyer of Haryana has filed a petition in the Punjab and Haryana High Court in this case. Also demanded that the force installed there be removed. Also, the matter should be resolved. Because there is a problem of water in many parts of Punjab.
Water crisis in 9 districts of Haryana
Sources associated with the government say that there is a water crisis in 9 districts of Haryana. If the situation does not improve, water going to Delhi and Rajasthan can be cut. From Haryana itself, both states have water supply for drinking water and irrigation.
