Chandigarh, Mar 18 (UNI) Haryana Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kanwar Pal said work is being done to stop the flow of industrial waste water coming from the Bhiwadi industrial area, Rajasthan to the Dharuhera area of Haryana.
Replying to a question asked during the ongoing budget session of the Vidhan Sabha here on Thursday, the Minister said the government is regularly writing to the Rajasthan Government in this regard. This matter has also been taken up before the Rajasthan Government in joint meetings held between the governments of both the states.
