Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has spoken to Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann over the phone regarding the disposal of dirty water coming from Budhanala of Punjab in the Indira Gandhi Canal and urged him to solve the problem of dirty water.

CM Gehlot tweeted that Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has assured to take up the work of disposal of dirty water on priority soon. CM Gehlot said that in Indira Gandhi Canal Project, talks were held regarding the disposal of dirty water coming from Budhanala in Punjab and relining of the Indira Gandhi Canal Project and Sirhind Feeder.

Bhagwant Mann has assured me that the work of disposal of dirty water will be done on priority and the work of relining will be completed during the next canal block.

In fact, Real-Time Water Quality Monitoring System has been installed by the Government of Rajasthan on RD 555 (Rajasthan-Haryana Border) of Indira Gandhi Feeder and RD 368 (Rajasthan-Punjab Border) of Bikaner Canal.

With this, real-time monitoring of water quality will be done. The CM informed that in the last three years, the Rajasthan government has done the historic work of relining about 106 km of Indira Gandhi Canal during the canal ban.

This has improved the quality and quantity of water and has ensured that water reaches the last mile. It is worth mentioning that Chief Minister Gehlot had also held talks with Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Tuesday regarding cooperation in the Eastern Canal project.
