Water top priority :President & CJI for prompt disposal of SYL issue - Naresh Kadian
The Issue
The people of South Haryana should write to the President of India and the Chief Justice of India for prompt disposal of the presidential reference on channelizing the surplus Ravi-Beas waters to southern Haryana through the SYL canal, this matter had been pending for nearly seven years. The President had referred the contentious issue to the Supreme Court after the Punjab Assembly passed the Punjab Termination of (Water) Agreements Act in 2004, annulling the tripartite agreement signed by the Chief Ministers of Punjab, Haryana and Rajasthan in the presence of the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in 1981. Gandhian Ideologist, philosopher and social reformer Naresh Kadyan moved public interest litigation - PIL in the Punjab and Haryana High Court against Punjab Assembly decision, which is cine die due to matter pendancy in the Supreme Court of India.
It would be pertinent to mention here that the ground water level is decreasing day by day and there are no water in some places, these effected people have right to live or to commit suicide with out water. Now we have decided to sit at Janter Manter for indefinite hunger strike on 15th August, 2011, if concerned authorities failed to resolve the issue.
