Indian Updates 19 Mar - Punjab Water War & Haryana RS

Thursday 19 March 2026. Ranjodh Singh and senior journalist Pritam Singh Rupal analyse five major stories on Radio Haanji Indian Updates. Bhagwant Mann has formally demanded ₹1.44 lakh crore from Rajasthan for 66 years of unpaid water dues — and announced canal irrigation has risen from 26.5% to 78% of Punjab's farmland. Himachal Pradesh's Congress government issued a dress code banning jeans plus strict social media conduct rules for employees. Congress named four Haryana MLAs who cross-voted in the Rajya Sabha election. A fire in Delhi's Palam area killed nine members of one family including three children.
