In a judgment that could reignite the water-sharing dispute between Rajasthan and Punjab, the high court today ruled that the administration, maintenance and operation of the Bhakhra Nangal Project (BNP) and the Beas Project (BP) be taken away from Punjab and handed over to the Bhakhra Beas Management Board (BBMB). The court further directed the Centre to ensure compliance of its order in 30 days.
