SYL has been in dispute since 1966
The dispute between the two states started when Haryana was carved out of Punjab. Then after 10 years, after the intervention of the central government, the two states agreed to build the Sutlej-Yamuna link canal for water sharing in 1976 and the central government issued a notification. Now Punjab had to give half of its water i.e. 3.5 million acre feet to Haryana.
According to media reports, 30 workers, including engineers involved in the construction work of SYL, after which the canal construction work was stopped. However, in 1996, Haryana moved the Supreme Court and Punjab refused to accept the agreement after some time. In 2004, the Punjab government rejected the agreement by bringing a bill in the assembly. This bill has been named as Punjab Termination of Agreement Act 2004.
The Eradi Tribunal, headed by Supreme Court Justice V. Balakrishna Eradi, was established for the availability and sharing of water. The Tribunal had in 1987 recommended an increase in the shares of Punjab and Haryana to 5 MAF and 3.83 MAF respectively.
To enable Haryana to utilize the water share of the Sutlej and its tributaries, a canal connecting the Sutlej with the Yamuna was planned, which would pass through the entire state. A tripartite agreement was also negotiated between Punjab, Haryana and Rajasthan in this regard.
However, following protests in Punjab, the Punjab Assembly passed The Punjab Termination of Agreements Act, 2004, ending its water-sharing agreement, and thus jeopardizing the construction of SYL in Punjab.
Sushil Gupta’s statement
Sushil Gupta is a Rajya Sabha member of the Aam Aadmi Party. He had made a statement in April this year 2022 that if his party came to power in Haryana, the work on the canal connecting Yamuna and Sutlej would be completed and the water of that canal would reach every farm in Haryana.

Gupta had said in his statement, By 2025, SYL water will reach the farms of Haryana. This is not our promise but our guarantee.
