What happened
The long-pending dispute over the Panchna Dam in Karauli district, Rajasthan, was resolved after nearly two decades. Water was released into the canal network on a trial basis, and foundation stones were laid for new lift irrigation projects. The state government had previously earmarked Rs 50 crore for the Panchana-Gudla Lift Project to provide drinking water to 39 villages in the region.
