US EditionWater Wars: Punjab and Haryana Clash Over River Rights
- On April 23, 2025, the Bhakra Beas Management Board directed that 8,500 cusecs of water be supplied to Haryana, a move opposed by the Punjab government.
- The order escalated tensions because Punjab claims Haryana has already exceeded its water quota, while Haryana insists it has not received its full share yet.
- The leaders of Punjab and Haryana have accused each other of using the ongoing water dispute for political gain, as both states face concerns over declining reservoir levels.
- Bhagwant Mann highlighted that the Bhakra Dam's water level was at 1,557.10 feet, which is below its full capacity of 1,680 feet, and stated firmly that his administration would not allow the BJP to infringe upon their rights again under any circumstances.
- The dispute reflects long-standing conflict and political division over water sharing and threatens cooperative management of the Bhakra reservoirs among Punjab, Haryana, and Rajasthan.
