Farmers in Gujarat's Ahmedabad district have made an urgent appeal to the state's Water Minister, urging immediate reconsideration of the decision to suspend water supply in the Right Bank Canal of the Mahi River. The move has put thousands of acres of standing crops at risk during their most critical growth period.
Crops Face Immediate Threat
The sudden halt in water distribution has created panic among the agricultural community, with farmers warning that their investments and livelihoods hang in the balance. Crops currently in vulnerable growth stages require consistent irrigation to reach maturity and yield successful harvests.
Appeal for Government Intervention
Agricultural representatives have directly approached Water Minister Kunvarjibhai Bavaliya, presenting their case for restoring water supply. They emphasize that timely intervention could prevent massive crop losses that would devastate farming families across the region.
Critical Timing for Agricultural Community
The water suspension comes at what farmers describe as the worst possible moment. With crops at a delicate developmental stage, even brief interruptions in irrigation can lead to significant reductions in yield quality and quantity.
Farmers argue that the decision threatens to undo months of hard work and substantial financial investment in their agricultural operations. The agricultural community remains hopeful that the state government will recognize the urgency of the situation and take prompt action to address their concerns.
