Chandigarh, July 2

Water Resources Minister Sukhbinder Singh Sarkaria today accused SAD chief Sukhbir Singh Badal of “misleading” farmers over the supply of canal water.

Reacting to the SAD’s statement that failure to restore power and water supply in the next two days would destroy the paddy crop, Sarkaria said he was lying as there was no shortage of canal water and no complaint had been filed by any farmer in this regard. — TNS
