Haryana and Rajasthan signed a Memorandum of Understanding in New Delhi to implement the 1994 Upper Yamuna River Board Agreement, also known as the 1994 Yamuna water agreement. Union Home Minister Amit Shah attended the signing ceremony.

The signing ceremony took place at Duty Bhawan‑3 in New Delhi, according to dailykiran.com. Union Minister for Jal Shakti C.R. Patil was also present, as reported by dailykiran.com. Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma and Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini were slated to formally endorse the agreement, and Sharma departed from Jaipur to New Delhi at 8:30 AM, dailykiran.com noted.

The agreement aims to resolve a three‑decade‑long impasse between the two states, dailykiran.com reported, and to streamline the sharing and management of Yamuna river waters, according to the Times of India. It also seeks to provide irrigation and drinking water to three districts in Rajasthan’s Shekhawati region—Sikar, Churu and Jh—dailykiran.com said. After the agreement, Rajasthan will receive water through an underground pipeline from the Hathini Kund barrage during monsoon months, as reported by The Hindu.
