CHANDIGARH: Reiterating his commitment for ensuring equal distribution of canal water, Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda on Sunday assured the people of Ahirwal that canal water of Rivers Ravi-Beas would flow through their fields thanks to the Hansi- Butana Link Canal before the next Parliamentary elections.

Addressing a rally organised by Independent MLA Naresh Yadav at Ateli, Mr.Hooda said that the Ahirwal region had remained neglected during the last 40 years but his regime was fully aware of the problems being faced by the people and was taking remedial measures.

He asserted that the Government had been purchasing electricity up to Rs 8.25 per unit from other sources to ease the power situation. He disclosed that the concerned authorities had been directed to ensure uninterrupted power supply during morning and evening hours so that the students could study for their examinations.

Referring to the demands made by the MLA, he announced that a Central University would be opened in Southern Haryana.
