New Delhi, Jan 04 (ANI): Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar held a meeting with the Union Minister of Jal Shakti Gajendra Singh Shekhawat on January 04. The meeting was held at the Shram Shakti Bhawan in the National Capital on the Sutlej Yamuna Link (SYL) canal issue. “We want to save the Sutlej river. We have clearly stated that we don’t have water. Hence, we can’t give water to any state. We will fight in the Supreme Court,” said Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann. “We had a third meeting with the Punjab government on the SYL issue and are yet to find an amicable solution to the issue. They aren’t ready to bring the issue of SYL on agenda and are only talking about the availability of water. We’ll apprise the SC about it,” said Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar.
