The canal is intended to provide irrigation water to Haryana and augment water supply to Delhi.
Punjab has raised concerns about its own depleting groundwater levels and argues that it no longer has surplus water to share.
Haryana claims its farmers have been deprived of their rightful share of water due to the non-completion of the canal.
The Supreme Court has repeatedly directed Punjab to complete the construction of the canal.
The project has been stalled due to political opposition and unresolved water-sharing agreements.
The canal is approximately 214 km long, with a significant portion already constructed in Haryana.
The issue involves complex legal, political, and environmental considerations.
The dispute highlights the challenges of inter-state water management in India.
Climate change and increasing water scarcity have further complicated the issue.
