Farmers in Ghadisana, Rajasthan, have been demonstrating for 22 consecutive days, demanding reliable irrigation water and vowing to sustain the protest until their demands are met.
Ghadisana, a town in Rajasthan's Jodhpur district, has witnessed a farmer-led demonstration that entered its 22nd day on Tuesday. The protest began as a response to chronic shortages of irrigation water, which have hampered agricultural productivity in the region.
Organisers of the movement held a public rally, reiterating that the agitation will continue until the authorities provide a reliable water supply for irrigation. Participants stressed that the lack of water threatens crop yields and the livelihood of thousands of farming families.
Local officials have been approached repeatedly, but the farmers say concrete measures have not yet been presented. The sustained protest underscores growing frustration among Rajasthan's agrarian community over water management and the need for timely government intervention.
