Water should be a matter of cooperation and coordination between states: PM Modi

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi today emphasised the importance of people’s participation in water conservation campaigns, saying nothing can be achieved with the efforts of a single government. Addressing the first national conference of water ministers of states through video conferencing, Modi said water should be a matter of cooperation and coordination between states and they should plan well in advance for it in view of the rapid pace of urbanization.

His remarks have many meanings as several states have been at loggerheads for decades over water sharing especially ongoing tussle between Punjab and Haryana over SYL.
Prime Minister Modi said that maximum work should be done on water under MNREGA.
