BATHINDA: With alarm bells ringing loud over fast depleting underground water and polluted surface water in Punjab, environmentalists have urged assembly speaker Kultar Singh Sandhwan to convene a special session to discuss the problems.
A number of activists on Thursday called upon the speaker, saying there was a dire need to take urgent measures to stop the state from turning into a desert. They demanded that a high-powered committee be set up to thoroughly study the issue to suggest right steps.
