Irrigation problem-KANGRA AREA

By: Satish Kumar Sharma

Dear Sir,

We the farmers of fifteen villages (main Parnoh /ladoh/Panchrukhi etc) would request to draw your kind attention towards the irrigation problem being faced by us on a day to day basis.. A large part of the land is dependent on rain only but during off season this water is available on rivers and nullahs but since there being no storage facility or proper irrigation system there is no use of this precious water which is simply wasted. Although one “khul” is present but since its quite old it is getting eroded and destroyed day by day.

We have earlier approached the previous Irrigation Minister of Himachal BJP GOVT and even have written a letter to Mr. Shanta Kumar, former cabinet minister .We have Also approached our local MLA but no action has been taken and all the requests have been fallen into deaf ears. It was also requested with the previous Himachal Government that they don’t need to do a lot but can simply give new look “khull” in the pattern of “Plampur Bandla to Bhawara and Charmanti khull which leads to Baijnath to Chobu Chobbeen area..

After being left disappointed from all quarters. We have approached the local print median, “ PUNJAB KESARI “.As a responsible partner they had Published the matter in their editorial and in the special column, “Himachal government Dhyan de” but its so unfortunate that the irresponsible government doesn’t even bother about all these.

After being dejected from all quarters we are approaching the present Government who we all know is a well wisher of the farmer community and doing a lot of work In our area..

We request you to kindly take this important issue and think about our problem and sort out this hard faced problem in some way or the other.

Your early action would not only help the farmers in increasing their productivity but would also help the unemployed youths of the village to start some Self employment venture in the agricultural sector which is fast decaying due to lackadaisical attitude of the government.

Yours truly,
