- Sutlej-Yamuna Link Canal (SYL Canal) is a 214 km water way proposed to connect the Sutlej River in Punjab to Yamuna canal in Haryana.
- The recent Supreme Court order asked Central government to sort out SYL issue between Punjab and Haryana amicably.
- This order has brought to centre stage the contentious issue of sharing of waters between the two states by central government.
- The creation of Haryana from the old (undivided) Punjab in 1966 threw up the problem of giving Haryana its share of river waters.
- Punjab was opposed to sharing waters of the Ravi and Beas with Haryana and arguing that it had no water to spare.
