No one else will take on this responsibility. Additionally, the governments of the time must also play a role in contributing to this effort. Does this indicate that there is still much for us to accomplish?
As Punjab and Haryana Chief Ministers once again sit across the table to discuss the decades-old SYL canal dispute, the optics feel familiar but the outcome remains elusive. With court orders pending, meetings turning inconclusive, and alternative ideas like scrapping SYL or proposing a YSL being floated, the issue continues to be framed as both legal and emotional. Is this renewed dialogue a serious attempt to resolve Punjab’s water anxieties or another round of positioning ahead of electoral battles where firm postures matter more than final solutions ? And as 2027 approaches, does the SYL issue risk becoming a perpetual talking point rather than a settled policy question ?
जब पंजाब और हरियाणा के मुख्यमंत्री एक बार फिर दशकों पुराने SYL नहर विवाद पर चर्चा के लिए आमने-सामने बैठे हैं, तो दृश्य परिचित लगता है, लेकिन नतीजा अब भी अनिश्चित है। अदालतों के आदेश लंबित हैं, बैठकें निष्कर्षहीन रहती हैं, और कभी SYL को रद्द करने तो कभी YSL जैसे विकल्पों की बातें सामने आती हैं। ऐसे में सवाल उठता है, क्या यह संवाद पंजाब की जल चिंताओं का वास्तविक समाधान खोजने की कोशिश है, या फिर चुनावी दौर से पहले सख्त रुख दिखाने की एक और कवायद ? और 2027 नज़दीक आते ही, क्या SYL एक स्थायी नीति मुद्दा बनने के बजाय केवल बार-बार उठाया जाने वाला राजनीतिक विषय बनता जा रहा है ?
With the Bhagwant Mann Government once again reviving the promise of a ₹1,000 monthly stipend for women, years after it was first announced, the question is less about intent and more about credibility. After repeated delays, shifting priorities and fresh spending announcements, is this assurance a serious policy commitment or a familiar election-season reminder of an unkept promise ? And if the scheme was truly viable, why did it take so long to reach the Budget stage at all ?
