Union Minister Nitin Gadakari has tweeted recently that, “Under the leadership of Hon’ble PM Sri @narendramodi ji, Our Govt. has decided to stop our share of water which used to flow to Pakistan. We will divert water from Eastern rivers and supply it to our people in Jammu and Kashmir and Punjab.”
This comes as a reaction to the most horrific attack occurred on Pulwama where 40 CRPF jawans martred on 14th February, 2019. Addressing a gathering in Baghpat in Uttar Pradesh on Wednesday, Gakari said,
“Three of our rivers have been flowing into Pakistan. So water which we rightfully owned was going into Pakistan. Now we are planning to create a project and divert the waters of these three rivers to the Yamuna. So you can understand that there will be enough water in the Yamuna.”
He recently also has tweeted, “The construction of dam has started at Shahpur- Kandi on Ravi river. Moreover, UJH project will store our share of water for use in J&K and the balance water will flow from 2nd Ravi-BEAS Link to provide water to other basin states.”
He further also has tweeted “All the mentioned projects are declared as National project.”
