Badal said "How can we allow extra flow of water to Haryana, when peasantry of the state is already facing acute shortage of water", who was here at function organisation by Ram Navami Utsav committee.

Asked whether the state government would oppose the project, Badal said in positive and said rather the state demands scrap of earlier agreements on water sharing as well.

"Haryana always try to fetch water from Punjab on one pretext or other and the concept report on Ravi Beas link project was new tactic on the same", he added.

A team of senior officials head by Suresh Kumar, Power Secretary had visited the site and found that the sought project of Haryana would affect the Uppar Bari Doab canal system apart from causing waterlogging in a vast area.
