The Centre has extended the deadline for the Ravi and Beas Waters Tribunal report submission by another year to August 5, 2026.
The extension was granted due to ongoing delays in resolving issues related to the Punjab water settlement as highlighted by the tribunal.
The tribunal, formed in 1986, is responsible for adjudicating matters concerning the distribution of Ravi and Beas river waters between Punjab and neighboring states.
The review process, which has been ongoing for nearly four decades, has seen additional references and clarifications sought by the Centre since the tribunal's initial report in 1987.
