Will present our case before SC in solution-oriented manner: Saini

Later speaking to media persons in New Delhi, Saini said that “a significant step forward was taken during the meeting on the ongoing dialogue over water sharing between Haryana and Punjab. The talks were held in a cordial and cooperative atmosphere”.

“The issue has been under discussion for a long time, and earlier deliberations held on July 9 had already indicated a positive shift. This time, we have moved a step further. The discussions were held in an even more constructive environment. Haryana will present its case in a positive and solution-oriented manner before the Supreme Court on August 13. We are confident that a fair and favourable resolution will be achieved,” Saini added.

In response to a question, the CM said that the Indus Waters Treaty is a separate subject, and in that context, Rajasthan will also be entitled to its share of water.

From Haryana’s side, Rajesh Khullar (Chief Principal Secretary to the Chief Minister), Anurag Rastogi (Additional Chief Secretary, Irrigation and Water Resources Department), and other senior officers accompanied Saini to the meeting.
