💨 Abstract

Punjab Water Resources Minister Barinder Kumar Goyal has expressed concern over widespread garbage dumping in canals, posing a threat to water quality, as canal water is used for both irrigation and drinking purposes. The water resources department has identified 492 pollution points across the state, with 444 already removed and 48 under cleanup. Legal actions, such as fines and FIRs, are being implemented, and government officials are being held accountable.
