MP Irrigation Project Failure Leaves Farmers Without Water
Imagine a project to bring water to farmers' fields, but it's not finished!
That's what happened with the Binjalwara project in Madhya Pradesh.
Pipelines are left in fields to rot, and the water isn't flowing.
Even though the pump house was done two years ago, farmers have received no water, and it's causing frustration.
A meeting has been scheduled to address the issues, but farmers are considering protests if the issues are not addressed.
They worry the project is a waste of money.
The Binjalwara Micro Lift Irrigation project in Madhya Pradesh is incomplete.
Pipelines worth crores are rotting in fields due to alleged mismanagement.
The pump house was completed two years ago; water has not reached fields.
Farmers are attending a meeting on Monday to voice concerns.
Farmers claim the project has wasted money, with some considering protests.
