TPSODL's ₹6 crore dues adds to irrigation crisis

GANJAM farmers, reeling under December's unseasonal rain damage to kharif crops, now face an irrigation crisis as they prepare for rabi crop.

- EXPRESS NEWS SERVICE @Berhampur

Major water bodies including Rushikulya, Badananadi, Bahuda and Ghodahada rivers, along with reservoirs at Bhanjanagar, Ghodahada and Baghalati have nearly dried up following last year's water release from reservoirs and insufficient rainfall, posing a massive challenge for the administration.

The irrigation challenge is complicated by a power supply crisis affecting Lift Irrigation (LI) points.

Simanchal Nahak, secretary of Rushikulya Rayat Mahasabha, claimed that TPSODL has disconnected power to approximately 500 LI points due to unpaid dues.
