Haryana has been struggling to get the SYL waters for more than four decades. Punjab should provide its younger brother with its legitimate share without delay.

On the agitation against the farm laws, Dhankar said the Centre had agreed to amend the laws on the recommendations of the farmers’ unions. “They must end the agitation and celebrate their victory as the Centre has agreed to amend the laws. The BJP government is the well-wisher of food providers.”
