Diverting the Sutlej water in Punjab to the Thar
desert has affected the residents of Fazilka, a small town near the Radcliff
line. This has been done to undoubtedly win over vote banks. The town
situated along the banks of the freshwater horseshoe lake Badha has been
receiving snow water as recharge from Sutlej. But the diversion has made the
lake fluoride-ridden, with an increase in the total dissolved solids in
groundwater. Birds from Siberia would come to this lake earlier. Once a
breeding ground for fish, today the place is dry. We see encroachments on
the riverbanks and the mafia sell the sand under the riverbed. And with the
Sutlej truncated at Suleimanki Head Works by the Water Commission of the
government of India, there’s little hope for the people of Fazilka. Maybe a
channel routed from the Bhakra main canal to the existing network of
channels in South Punjab can fill the Badha lake with water every season.
That is the town’s only hope.
