Punjab-Haryana water dispute: A look at the history and timeline of the inter-state water row | Explained

The long-standing water-sharing dispute between Punjab and Haryana has once again reignited, with tensions escalating over the latest reduction in water supply from the Bhakra Nangal Dam. The Haryana government has demanded 8,500 cusecs of water, however, Punjab has declined the request, asserting that it doesn't have the water to spare. The Punjab government, led by Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), has already slashed Haryana's daily water quota from 9,500 cusecs to just 4,000 cusecs.
