The spectre of drought looms large over eight Haryana districts facing acute water shortage.

There was shortfall of about 7,000 cusecs of water per day as the supply from the Sutlej and Yamuna canal water schemes has dropped to 50 per cent.

The Bhakra Beas Management Board (BBMB) today decided to reduce water supply for irrigation to Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and Rajasthan in the wake of the delayed monsoon and inadequate melting of snow.

Shamsher Singh Surjewala, president, All-India Kisan Khet Mazdoor Congress, has said the administration has constituted committees at the district level to tackle the problems arising out of the delay in monsoon.
