Hakimuddin Nasir, Mahasamund. Hundreds of farmers have been forced to cry tears of blood due to the negligence of the electricity department in Bagbahara of the state. Due to power cuts and low voltage for the last two months, farmers could not irrigate in 19 thousand acres of fields of the area. Due to this, crops of paddy, wheat, urad, moong, watermelon were ruined due to lack of water. This has not only suffered financial loss to the farmers, but their hard work also went in vain. The farmers say that the electricity department ruined them.
Let me tell you, in Bagbahara, farmers plant vegetables with paddy, pulses, oilseeds on about 19 thousand acres during the Rabi season. This year too, farmers are taking a large number of rabi crops, but due to lack of irrigation, cracks have been found in the land of the fields. The growth of some crops has stopped, so some crops have dried up.
Did not improve even after protest
In Bagbahara region, due to low voltage for 2 months, big lights are also giving less light than candle. Troubled farmers have also staged a sit-in demonstration and siege against the electricity department. Now the disappointed farmers say that the electricity department has ruined us.
Electricity department official assured
Despite the complaints, the electricity department is not taking the name of improvement. Now the top official has assured to improve the system.
At the same time, the forced farmers say that now the electricity department should also improve its system completely, even then this ended crop cannot be returned and neither the farmers’ money can be returned in the futile and waste.
