Days after the Punjab Assembly passed a resolution to immediately transfer the Union Territory of Chandigarh to Punjab, the Haryana Government has summoned a special session of its Assembly on April 5.
The decision was taken at a Cabinet meeting held in Chandigarh on Sunday, chaired by Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar. “It was decided in this meeting that a special session of Haryana Vidhan Sabha will be called on April 5, 2022 at 11 a.m. A letter in this regard will be sent to the Governor of Haryana and the Speaker of the Haryana Vidhan Sabha,” said an official statement.
Sources said that the Haryana Government could move a resolution against Punjab for its resolution on the transfer of Chandigarh. It could also raise the controversial Sutlej Yamuna Link (SYL) canal issue on Haryana’s share of river water from Punjab.
