Sal farmers threaten stir over water supply
16 Nov 2017 05:38 PM
Farmers from Sal in Bicholim have threatened to launch an agitation if the government fails to provide water for their fields in time.
They say that earlier they suffered heavy losses because of the delayed arrival of water from the Tillari dam.
Around 100 farmers in Sal have their plantain cultivation and rice
fields on the upper side of the village. After monsoon, the farmers
fully depend on Tillari water.
But invariably there is delay in supply of
water. Their crops wither and die. Hence the farmers suffer heavy losses.
