Punjab : Canal breach damages wheat crop on 100 acres
A 20-foot breach in the Moolianwali sub-canal near Fazilka has damaged the wheat crop on 100 acres of land in Banwala village. Farmers, including Sukhjit Singh and others, are struggling with the loss, having spent significant amounts on fertilizers and resources. They are unable to re-sow the crops soon due to the breach and have called for government compensation. Farmers are attempting to repair the breach themselves, as no government assistance has been provided.
A 20-foot breach in the Moolianwali sub-canal near Fazilka has damaged the wheat crop sown on 100 acres of land by farmers in Banwala village.
Sukhjit Singh, Sukhwinder Singh Karamjit Singh, Sardul Singh and other farmers said they had to spend thousands of rupees on fertilisers and other resources to sow their crops.
They added that it would be difficult for them to sow wheat again for the next several days. This would also impact their yield.
The farmers stated that it would be impossible for them to arrange the DAP fertiliser again and re-sow their crop.
They further demanded compensation from the state government for their losses.
The farmers also said they were trying to repair the breach themselves as they had not received any help from the government.
