Members of the Ravi-Beas Water Tribunal will be on a three-day tour of the state from Thursday, during which they will also meet Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann in Chandigarh.

The tribunal has been adjudicating riverwater disputes among Punjab, Haryana and Rajasthan for over three decades now.

Their visit to Punjab is to review the infrastructure for the sharing of the water of both rivers, which Punjab has been objecting to on the grounds that it does not have extra water to spare for other states.

CM Mann is expected to reiterate this when he meets the tribunal members on Thursday.

Led by Justice Vineet Saran, Chairman of the tribunal, the team will visit Ropar headworks, Nangal Dam and Bhakra Dam, Pong Dam and Ranjit Sagar Dam.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
