Chandigarh | Saturday | 24th August, 2019

Summary:

In 1983, an agreement was signed between Punjab, Haryana and Chandigarh over the distribution of water from the Kajauli waterworks to Mohali, Chandigarh, Chandimandir and Panchkula. Four of its phases have been completed; each phase carries 20 MGD water. From each phase, Mohali gets 2.5 MGD of water, Chandimandir 1.5 MGD and Panchkula 1.5 MGD. UT officials claimed that Panchkula was getting its full share of the water available. Leakages, and fall in supply of canal water during summer cut the water share of all states..
