Jammu & Kashmir CM Omar Abdullah has rejected a proposed 113-km canal to divert surplus water to Punjab, Haryana, and Rajasthan, citing J&K’s worsening water crisis. “Why should I send our limited supply to Punjab?” he asked. The move sparked sharp reactions from Punjab leaders across party lines, accusing Abdullah of politicizing a national issue and denying Punjab its fair share. The controversy adds a new layer to India’s complex inter-state water disputes.
