The Jaipur Bench of the Rajasthan High Court today ordered Punjab to hand over control of the three headworks on the Bhakhra Nangal and Beas projects to the Bhakhra Beas Management Board (BBMB). As per the order pronounced this morning, the BBMB would be responsible for the administration, maintenance and operation of the irrigation works and head-works at Ropar, Harike and Ferozepore. The order was passed on a petition filed by a 72-year-old farmer of Jaipur, seeking directions so that the share of residents of Rajasthan in river waters could be safe-guarded through strict compliance of the Punjab Re-organisation Act, 1966.
