Sangrur/Patiala, Sept. 14 -- Punjab governor Gulab Chand Kataria, during his visit to several areas of Sangrur and Patiala districts, on Saturday said he would facilitate a meeting between the chief ministers of Punjab and Haryana to find a solution to the decades old dispute over widening of Ghaggar river from Makor Sahib to Karail village. The Haryana government has already obtained a stay order from the Supreme Court. Both states have been at loggerheads over the issue owing to the recurring flood threat. Kataria said, "I will facilitate a meeting of the chief ministers of both states. After that, a meeting of the technical experts will be arranged. If an agreement is reached, it will be easier to move forward as in absence of any agreement, the court case lingers on." "The overflow in Ghaggar river inundated the surrounding areas in Patiala. In Sangrur where 6,000 to 7,000 hectares were flooded, the administration and people worked exceptionally well to mitigate the flood effects," he said. He chaired a review meeting with Patiala deputy commissioner Preeti Yadav, SSP Varun Sharma, army officers and officials of the drainage and district administration. The governor stressed the need to further strengthen weak embankments along the Ghaggar. HTC...
