Recently the song of late Singer Sidhu Moosewala, ‘SYL’ was removed from Youtube. After this, the government banned Sufi singer Kanwar Grewal's song ‘Rihai’. YouTube took down Grewal's song, which called for the release of Sikh Prisoners. Moosewala’s SYL stands for Sutlej Yamuna Link Canal, also known as 'SYL Canal'. The 214 km long Sutlej Yamuna Link Canal has been a point of contention between Punjab and Haryana for more than three decades.
