Punjab stakes claim to Yamuna waters, seeks repeal of Dam Safety Act

Chandigarh, Oct 27 (UNI) Punjab Water Resources Minister Barinder Kumar Goyal moved resolutions in the state assembly on Tuesday asserting Punjab''s historical and legal claim over Yamuna river waters and seeking the repeal of the Dam Safety Act, 2021, accusing the Centre of encroaching upon the state''s constitutional powers.
Goyal argued that Punjab was entitled to a share of Yamuna waters on the same principle under which Haryana claims a share of Punjab''s river waters following the reorganisation of the erstwhile Punjab state in 1966.
