Detailed explanation-1: -Under the agreement, Punjab’s share was increased to 5.21 billion m3 and that of Rajasthan to 10.6 billion m3 while the share of Haryana from the revised 21.18 billion m3 of water remained the same. All states withdrew their suits from the Supreme Court following the signing of agreement.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Bhakra Nangal dam is built across the river Sutlej in Punjab.
Detailed explanation-3: -Satluj Yamuna Link Canal, or SYL for short, is a 214-kilometer-long canal in India that connects the Sutlej and Yamuna rivers. The proposal, however, ran into difficulties and was referred to the Supreme Court of India. It was defined as the sharing of river water between the states of Punjab and Haryana.
Detailed explanation-4: -Prime Minister Indira Gandhi launches the construction of the SYL project at Kapoori village in Patiala. Out of the 214-km canal, 122 km was to be constructed in Punjab and 92 in Haryana. Soon, agitations under ‘Kapoori Morcha’ start across Punjab against the construction of the canal.
