Due to the breaking of the Ghoda Dam in Jharkhand, a state adjacent to Bihar, a strong flow of water has started in the Falgu River, due to which a lot of happiness is being seen on the faces of the farmers. The water level of drinking water had decreased in the area. Not only this, farmers were also facing problems in farming. Now due to the water coming in the Falgu River, the farmers have started their farming work. Actually, after the rain in Jehanabad, water came in the Falgu River on Sunday. Due to this, there is an atmosphere of happiness in the entire area. People here were yearning for water. At the same time, people will get a lot of convenience due to the water coming in the river. It will be easy for farmers to do farming.
Local people say that due to lack of water in the river, the water level had gone down considerably. The hand pumps had also stopped giving water. Due to this, there was a water crisis in many villages. Somehow water was being supplied to the village with the help of tap water. In many villages, people were managing with one hand pump. The water level will rise when water comes in the river. Due to this, all the hand pumps will also start working.
Farmers say that we were not able to plant paddy. If water comes in the river, then paddy planting will also start. But, farmers are accusing the officials of the irrigation department that due to lack of water in the canal, farmers are sad. People say that water is flowing in the river on both ends. But water has not been supplied in the canal, due to which farmers are restless.
People say that this is the situation due to the apathy of the officials of the irrigation department. The canal is dry. Farmers have demanded from the district administration that water should be supplied in the canal as soon as possible, so that farmers can do their agricultural work. It is being told that the water level of the Dardha, Morhar and Baldaiya rivers will also rise by late Sunday night.
