SC orders Centre to construct Sutlej Yamuna Link canal
The Supreme Court, on Thursday, cancelled the Punjab government's law scrapping the water-sharing agreement with the neighbouring state of Haryana and asked the Centre to construct the Sutlej Yamuna Link (SYL) canal. The Termination of Agreements Act, which scrapped the water-sharing agreement was passed by the Punjab Assembly in 2004, when Captain Amarinder Singh was the Chief Minister.
