Clash between BJP and AAP workers started again on BBMB releasing additional water to Haryana. AAP workers on Sunday sat on dharna at the Nangal Dam against BBMB.
After this Punjab Police had blocked the vehicular traffic passing through the dam bridge and towards Nangal town.
Education Minister Harjot Bains alleged that the BBMB officers had tried to release additional water illegally to Haryana early this morning following which a large number of people from adjoining villages gathered at the dam.
“We have apprised CM Bhagwant Mann of the situation and he would visit the spot. We would not allow the BBMB to steal the Punjab’s share of water. We appeal to the Centre to advise the BBMB against releasing additional water to Haryana as this could lead to a law-and-order situation here,” he said.
Punjab Police had shifted AAP workers 100 metres away from the Nangal Dam due to security reasons on Friday, but on Sunday AAP workers again assembled at the dam to protest
