SaralnamaNOTICE: Gramoththan Sansthan has written to the Chief Minister requesting water release from Panchna Dam for Rabi crop irrigation. The dam, built at ₹125 crore with 2100 MCFT capacity, hasn't released water for 19 years despite being full. This affects 40,000 bighas of land and 1.25 lakh people in 47 villages, causing ₹200 crore annual loss. The High Court ordered water release in, but it's not implemented yet. The organization demands canal repairs and water release in November for Rabi crops. Students, please spread awareness about this issue in your communities.
