'Not even a single drop': Punjab CM clears stand on releasing more water to Haryana

IndiaTimes Thursday, 1 May 2025
Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann declared his government won't release more water to Haryana, asserting the state has used its full share. This escalates a water-sharing dispute, especially after the BBMB decided to release 8,500 cusecs to Haryana, a move Punjab opposes. Mann accuses Haryana and Rajasthan of 'thuggery' and hints at an all-party meeting to address the crisis.
