Punjab vs Haryana Water Controversy Latest News Today: Amid rising tensions between Punjab and Haryana over the release of additional water, the Central Government has called a crucial meeting of the Chief Secretaries of Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, and Rajasthan on May 2 in New Delhi.
The meeting, to be chaired by Union Home Secretary Govind Mohan, follows Punjab's opposition to the Bhakra Beas Management Board’s (BBMB) decision to release an extra 8,500 cusecs of water to Haryana.
With the Punjab Chief Secretary on leave, Additional Chief Secretary (Home) Alok Shekhar will represent the state, along with Krishan Kumar, Principal Secretary of the Water Resources Department.
Tensions flared on Wednesday when Punjab halted the water release, prompting sharp exchanges between political leaders of both states. The Centre’s move comes as an attempt to ease the growing conflict and explore a resolution through dialogue.
