The Supreme Court on Wednesday reprimanded the Punjab government for ignoring a 21-year-old direction to construct its side of a canal linking the Sutlej, Yamuna rivers, and warned the ruling AAP to comply with its orders on pain of further action.

A meeting to discuss the contentious Sutlej Yamuna Link (SYL) canal issue is underway here between Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and his Haryana counterpart Manohar Lal Khattar.

Water sharing from the canal has been a bone of contention between the two states for several decades. Punjab has been demanding a reassessment of the Ravi-Beas river waters' volume while Haryana has been seeking completion of the canal.

Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar said all political parties should make persistent efforts to take forward the Sutlej-Yamuna Link or SYL canal issue in the interest of the state and the people.

A special session of the Punjab Assembly has been convened tomorrow in the wake of the Supreme Court declaring as "unconstitutional" the 2004 law enacted by the state government to terminate the Sutlej-Yamuna Link (SYL) canal water sharing agreement with neighbouring states.

All Congress legislators today submitted their resignation to the Punjab Assembly Secretary today to protest the Supreme Court's ruling favouring Haryana on the Sutlej-Yamuna Link issue.

Isolated by other stake holders over the water sharing dispute of Sutlej-Yamuna Link (SYL) Canal, Punjab on Friday said the Supreme Court was not bound to answer the Presidential reference made at the instance of the Centre which had no power to resolve the dispute.

The Centre today told the Supreme Court that it was maintaining a "neutral" stand in the tussle between Punjab and Haryana over sharing of water through the Sutlej-Yamuna Link (SYL) Canal.

With Punjab Assembly passing a resolution against construction of Sutlej-Yamuna Link (SYL) Canal, Haryana minister Anil Vij today hit out at the Punjab government over its "arrogant attitude" and asked its Chief Minister to honour the Supreme Courts' directive on the issue.

In a setback to Punjab, the Supreme Court today directed maintenance of status quo on land meant for Sutlej-Yamuna Link (SYL) canal after Haryana alleged that attempts have been made to alter its use by levelling it.

Punjab Assembly today adopted a resolution condemning Haryana Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) legislators' attempt today to "barge" into the Vidhan Sabha protesting against the recent passage of a Bill on Sutlej Yamuna Link (SYL) canal.
