Bihar is blessed with a land more fertile for revolutions than any in India. Why has it fallen so far behind then? Constant obsession with politics is at the root of its destruction.
Technically, Haryana can get the water for SYL canal by drawing water (by gravity) from Bhakra reservoir directly via Himachal Pradesh (without using area of Punjab) by transferring water to Ghaggar river without caring Punjab if Haryana politicians want to make it a major political issue in the state like in Punjab.
Himachal will not divert water root without Panjab’s permission, himachal is upper riperian and Panjab is lower riperian so upper riperian is not able to divert any water stream without lower riperian’s consent . It is as per riperian law. Water is our natural resource and forcefully diversion of water will deal like act of war by Indians against Panjab and it will create freedom movement in Panjab ! We have more than 2000 years experience to deal with invaders!
Haryana is also a lower riparian state of Sutlej river basin. The north western part of Panchakula district in Haryana is drained by the tributaries of Sutlej river (please see google earth maps). Similar to Punjab, Haryana also has right to convince an upper riparian state Himachal Pradesh.

Yoginder yadav is just propagating his blind Indian hindi nation state agenda with false arguement, He belongs from haryana and hindi belt so he propagate his false agenda under the shadow of nationalism, entire article is based upon false facts, first he wrote that the riperian act is not applecable on inter state issue but he forgot about narmada river case judgement where supream court of India rejected rajasthan’ claim on narmada water on the basis of riperian act ,
2 he wrote the judgement will be based on constitution of India while before that Indian supream court can recheck the panjab reorganisation act’s provision of section 78-79-80 are as per Indian constitution? Indian specially blind hindi state looting our resources as colonial power and in last 72 years India acting as imperial power with Panjab and looting our natural resources as colonial power, we need royality of our resources as Panjab received during british period from bikaner state and patiala state.
Building a SYL canal will not help. First of all, by changing the natural course of water we are abusing the nature. We need a sustainable solution.
How funny is this that, we want water for irrigation in arid regions at the cost of fertile lands. But, the writer seems to be in a hurry to ‘bell the cat’.
Good work Yogendrajee. At last, someone is talking about resolution of an old dispute which will bring great prosperity to lakhs of farmers. How long can Haryana continue to deplete its underground water resources ?
And you think people in Punjab will not notice it?
Due to lapse of long time, SYL canal issue has become a popular sentimental issue whose status could not be changed by judiciary/union govt. However the needed extra water (nearly 100 tmcft) in the Sutlej river basin for the needs SYL canal can be augmented / transferred from the Lingdi Nadi (a tributary of Tso Moriri lake in J&K state) . It is possible by digging a 9 km long gravity canal from the Lingdi Nadi to connect to the Ungti Chu river (a tributary of Sutlej river in J&K state). Punjab’s ego can be satisfied and Haryana’s water problem is also solved at very low cost by the generosity of J&K state.
Find fair, just, enduring solutions to long standing problems. That is the highest task of governance. Inter state disputes re water are especially emotive and problematic. To solve problems with neighbours like Pakistan is the highest form of statesmanship. India does not change in sixty months. Or even in one twenty. But each government should leave the country and its people better off at the close of its term than at the beginning.

Mr Yadav will decide what proves Modi’s nationalism!

I liked the punch line about fighting wars with Pakistan from TV studios.
