Haryana Minister Steps In, Provides Water to Loharu Canal Tail‑End Farmers

Tail‑end farmers cultivating plots along the Loharu canal in Haryana have long struggled with irregular water supply, often receiving the last share of irrigation water. Their grievances intensified during the current season as water levels fell short of crop‑water requirements.
The state’s agriculture minister visited the area and ordered the release of additional water from the canal’s upstream reservoirs, directing officials to ensure that the tail‑end sections receive their allotted share.
Following the minister’s directive, water began flowing to the affected farms, providing immediate relief to the farmers who had been awaiting irrigation. Local officials confirmed that the water release is in line with the state’s water‑allocation schedule and will continue until the scheduled turn is completed.
Farmers expressed gratitude for the swift action, noting that the water will help stabilize their sowing plans and prevent further crop loss. The intervention underscores the government’s focus on addressing irrigation inequities in the region.
