BBMB has allocated water to Punjab, Haryana, and Rajhsthan from the Nangal Dam according to their demand. Earlier, there was an issue between Punjab and Haryana regarding allocating extra water to Haryana. The Punjab government was not ready to give extra water to Haryana, as per the Punjab Government, Haryana had consumed its allocated quota of water.
As per a decision taken at a meeting held on May 15, Punjab will get 17,000 cusecs of water, Rajasthan 12,400 cusecs and Haryana 10,300 cusecs.
There, however, lies a catch in case of Haryana. According to the minutes of the meeting accessed by The Tribune, Haryana has been allotted 10,300 cusecs for 10 days beginning from May 21, based on the “safe carrying capacity” of the Bhakra Main Line (BML) canal. The canal carries water to parts of both Punjab and Haryana.
Now Haryana will get 2100 cusecs less water then its demand. They will get 8200 cusecs water now.
