Groundwater recharge this year maximum since 2004; Punjab, Rajasthan & Haryana extract more than recharged
Friday, 1 December 2023 India's groundwater recharge reached its highest level since 2004, totaling 449 billion cubic metres (BCM) this year, with an increase of 11.5 BCM compared to 2022. Punjab, Rajasthan, and Haryana remain areas of concern due to excessive groundwater extraction, surpassing recharge rates. Delhi ranks fourth with nearly 100% water extraction. The report 'Dynamic Ground Water Resources of India 2023' reveals that 87% of annual groundwater extraction is for agriculture, while domestic use accounts for 11%, and industrial purposes account for 2%. Groundwater management has improved in 226 assessment units, resulting in more areas classified as safe zones.

In Dibrugarh, Assam, the lawyer representing Amritpal Singh, the imprisoned leader of 'Waris Punjab De' and elected Member of Parliament from Khadoor Sahib Lok Sabha constituency, Rajdev Singh Khalsa, outlines their legal strategy, which primarily focuses on securing
bail for Singh. Khalsa asserts that the government has no choice but to release Singh, emphasising his client's efforts in combating drug abuse in Punjab. He contends that Singh's arrest was deemed unlawful and unethical by the public, highlighting widespread support for his cause.
Jailed Khalistani separatist Amritpal Singh won from Punjab’s Khadoor Sahib Lok Sabha seat on Tuesday against Congress’ Kulbir Singh Zira by over 1.5 lakh votes, as per the Election Commission. Singh fought as an Independent candidate. Singh is ‘Waris Punjab De’ chief and is currently lodged in Dibrugarh jail in Assam under the National Security Act (NSA). Sarabjeet Singh Khalsa who is the elder son of Beant Singh, one of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi’s assassins is leading in Faridkot. In April 2023, there was a massive manhunt launched for Amritpal Singh that led to the arrest of 300 youngsters, many of whom had interacted with him and committed no crimes.

The Congress party has scripted a comeback story, almost doubling its 2019 tally, as it leads in at least 97 seats and claims victory in Jalandhar. The power fight by the INDIA bloc was also led by the Samajwadi Party, which currently has the highest number of leads (35) in Uttar Pradesh. The stakes are high for the Opposition, which has consolidated into the INDIA bloc, and is looking to upset the NDA’s tally. The Opposition has dismissed the exit poll predictions, reposing its faith in “people’s polls”.As of 2.50 pm, in a neck-and-neck fight, the NDA was leading in 290 seats, while the INDIA bloc was ahead in 234. An interesting trend to note is the Congress’s performance in Rajasthan, where it looks set to end its dry run. It is currently leading in eight seats out of 25 seats. In Haryana, too, the Congress is looking at a comeback, having lost all seats to the BJP in 2019. Out of 10 Lok Sabha seats, the Congress is consistently leading on six seats in Haryana.
