The situation demands the logical solution of water conflict

"The supreme court verdict announced on thursday regarding SYL is unfortunate.  Rather than solving any problem and decreasing conflict between two states regarding irrigation water scarcity it will create new crisis and further intensify this conflict." This was stated today by Comrade Mangat Ram Pasla, General Secretary, RMPI. He further stated that due to anti-farmer policies of central government, agricultural land under canal irrigation has been decreasing day by day. It was 43% at once but today it is just 24% and it is always irregular. While water beneath earth (underground water) has been reached to the alarming stage of only 18%. This is the situation in Punjab but Haryana also has the same fate. Comrade Pasla questioned that how the huge and overall crisis of irrigation can be solved through one sided court verdicts? He stated that it is suspicious that Haryana will be benefited with this verdict but it is clear that Punjab will be biggest looser especially Malwa and Doaba regions of State. The number of growing Peasants' suicides itself tells the intensity of crisis. RMPI Gen Secy said that both Congress and Akalis are equally responsible for the present situation and the whole crisis. Now both are busy in writing new script comprising old subject of blood shed upon basis of water conflict  only to play it as election card in forthcoming Punjab assembly election. The countrymen and women are fully aware of the fact that congress laid the foundation stone of SYL and at the same time Akalis received crores of rupees from Haryana as compensation and acquired the land for it. Now again both are indulged in political games upon same issue. Comrade Pasla appealed people of both states to maintain peace and fraternity. He strongly urged the people of both states that making or not making SYL is not the sole steps to resolve the water necessities regarding irrigation. All round steps and measures are needed on part of central Govt.. And the central government is not interested to March forward even a single inch towards genuine solution. He criticised the central Govt for its partial approach. Comrade Pasla said that the central Govt should make all efforts to ensure a logical solution of water crisis completely.
