Chandigarh, May 4 -- The Punjab government on Saturday "boycotted" the Bhakra Beas Management Board (BBMB) meeting, a day after the Centre advised them to release extra water to Haryana.
The BBMB regulates water distribution from Bhakra, Pong and Ranjit Sagar dams. Punjab, Haryana and Rajasthan are the partnering states that meet their requirement for different purposes, including irrigation, from Bhakra and Pong dams.
The board called a meeting on Saturday evening to work out the modalities for the release of extra water to Haryana, amid a row over the sharing of water with Punjab. Ahead of the meeting, the Punjab government wrote a letter to the BBMB, demanding that the meeting be adjourned.
