Farmers allege that after the mining was cut, when they repeatedly called the Executive Engineer to inform them about the situation, their calls were not picked up. This situation became even more dire when the canal department officials kept ignoring the problems of the farmers instead of solving the problem.
Farmers also told that they called the Executive Engineer of Sharda Block several times, but did not get any response. This situation has left farmers distressed, as their crops are completely submerged, and they are unable to contact authorities for any assistance.
Due to the negligence of canal department officials, farmers are suffering huge losses. Farmers say that the canal department should have solved this problem immediately, so that the fruits of their hard work are not wasted. The crisis of livelihood of farmers has deepened due to submerged crops. Many farmers say that their entire crops have been ruined and they are now burdened with debt.
Meanwhile, the problem of overflow due to garbage had arisen at three places in the city in Bangarmau area, which further deepened the water problem in the area. But the canal officials promptly resolved the problem and started the cleaning work.
Executive Engineer Deepak Yadav normalized the situation after cleaning, which brought relief to the local citizens.
At the same time, farmers say that if the canal department had also shown such promptness, their crops could have been saved. Now they are hoping that the administration will solve their problems soon and they will be given some kind of relief. To solve this problem, the farmers have also appealed to the higher officials of the district to intervene, so that their hard work is not wasted and such incidents can be avoided in future.
