Punjab CM Mann slams Centre’s move to deploy CISF at Bhakra Dam

Punjab CM Mann slams Centre’s move to deploy CISF at Bhakra Dam

Sangrur, May 22 (UNI) Slamming the BJP-led Union government for what he termed as "hatching conspiracies to ruin Punjab", Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann said the state government will vehemently oppose the Centre's "draconian move" to deploy Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) at the Bhakra Dam, and will not give a single paisa for its expenditure.
“Centre should understand one thing: we neither have any drop of surplus water for other states nor any single penny to pay the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) for the unwarranted CISF,” said the Chief Minister while interacting with the media persons here today.
He said that the state government will never pay this amount as it is a move aimed at "stealing the water of the state" by deploying the central forces on the Bhakra Dam.
