Oyebanji seeks Assembly’s nod for three commissioners, 10 advisers

The Punjab Assembly has passed five resolutions asserting its rights over river waters and infrastructure, asserting that it has been unfairly treated in water-sharing arrangements. The resolutions, tabled by Punjab Water Resources Minister Barinder Kumar Goyal, seek a share in Yamuna waters, payment from Rajasthan for water supplied, and the repeal of the Dam Safety Act, 2021.

The resolutions also seek control over three irrigation headworks and measures to utilize Ravi waters flowing into Pakistan. Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann reiterated Punjab's commitment to not surrender its rightful share of water, and vowed to pursue its legitimate rights. The resolutions were passed in the absence of Congress, Shiromani Akali Dal, and BJP legislators.
