Willing To Engage In Dialogue: Haryana Chief Minister To Punjab On SYL Canal Row

Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Monday reached out to his Punjab counterpart on the Sutlej-Yamuna Link issue, making an offer of a dialogue to resolve "any hurdle or obstacles" hindering the canal construction.

Haryana is willing to engage in a dialogue, notwithstanding the Punjab government's stand that it will not share a single drop of additional water with any other state at any cost, Khattar said in his letter to Bhagwant Mann.

He cited a Supreme Court order to say that "a comprehensive order on October 4, explicitly stating that the execution is not related to the allocation of water."
