Clause on Punjab water supply to states scrapped
The Punjab government has scrapped the legal provision to supply the state's river water to Haryana and Rajasthan, CM Parkash Singh Badal said on Friday. The concerned clause 5 of the Punjab Termination of Agreements Act was enacted by the previous Congress government. Scrapping the clause was one of the Badal-led Shiromani Akali Dal’s pre-poll promises in 2007.
