EC also highlighted that availability of sufficient and clean water is a governance issue and that all concerned governments at all times should engage in securing this for all the people. EC finds no reason for anyone to dispute this noble position and will leave it to the competence and discretion of governments and agencies, abstaining from arbitration on long-standing water-sharing and pollution issues during the brief election period, particularly where agreements and legal directives from the Supreme Court and National Green Tribunal already exist.
