The atmosphere in Punjab and Haryana had become tense due to the allocation of additional water to Haryana. There was pressure from Haryana that the responsibility of the security of Bhakra Nangal Dam would be handed over to the Central Security Forces. Congress General Secretary Randeep Singh Surjewala had also demanded deployment here from the government. At the same time, Haryana and BBMB had raised questions on security.
