Government Extends Deadline for Ravi and Beas Waters Tribunal Report

The Centre has extended the deadline for the Ravi and Beas Waters Tribunal to submit its report to August 5, 2025. The tribunal, formed in April 1986 to address inter-state water disputes, has faced multiple extensions due to the complexity of the task involved.

The Centre has once again extended the deadline for the Ravi and Beas Waters Tribunal, pushing the submission date of its long-awaited report to August 5, 2025.

The tribunal, originally constituted in April 1986 under the Inter-State River Water Disputes Act, 1956, has faced a series of delays over the years. Its initial report was submitted on January 30, 1987, but the central government requested further clarifications, leading to multiple extensions.

This latest extension highlights the 'enormous exercise' required by the tribunal to prepare its comprehensive report, and underscores the ongoing challenges in resolving complex inter-state water disputes.
