BOOST FOR AGRI SECTOR AS INFRA REPAIRS BEGIN

26 Dec 2022 05:57 PM

Farmers in the state are hopeful to resume cultivation of their khazan lands next year. The agriculture director has promised full repairs of the bandaras within the next year.



A major chunk of the 18,000 odd hectares of khazan land have been kept fallow because of breaches in the bandaras and overgrown mangroves. After the bandaras are rebuilt, they will finally be able to farm on the khazan lands, many of which have been idle since 2017. Coupled with the various agri schemes and subsidies from the government, the sector should hopefully see quite a boost in the coming years.
