New Hiring Rules for the BBMB
Introduction
The Power Minister has new rules for hiring leaders at the Bhakra Beas Management Board (BBMB).
Main Body
Before, the BBMB hired leaders from Punjab and Haryana. Then, the government said anyone could apply. Punjab was angry because they wanted their own people in these jobs. Now, Minister Khattar says the BBMB will look for people from Punjab and Haryana first. If they cannot find a good person there, they will hire someone from another place. Punjab also has other problems. They do not like the new security guards at the projects. They want more control over the river water. Haryana and Rajasthan want to use more science and green energy.
Conclusion
The BBMB still gives water and power to the states. The government is changing the rules to make the states happy.

🕰️ Then vs. Now
This story shows us how to talk about changes. To move from A1 to A2, you need to describe a situation in the past and compare it to the present.

Quick Map: Before Hired (Past) Now Says/Looks (Present)
💡 Simple Tip for A2: When you see 'Before', look for the -ed ending. When you see 'Now', look for the base word or the -s ending. This is the easiest way to tell a story about change!
