CNN Central News & Networks / ITDC India ePress / ITDC News /Agencies/ Bhopal: Farmers in Chhattisgarh's Bemetara district are facing mounting difficulties after power supply remained disrupted for the past 15 days. With irrigation unable to reach the fields, the paddy crop has begun to dry and cracks have started appearing in the soil. Worried by the situation, farmers have demanded that the district administration resolve the problem soon and replace the faulty transformer. They have appealed to the Bemetara Collector to intervene in the matter.
According to the farmers, the prolonged power shutdown has made it difficult to get water to the fields. The paddy crop needs adequate water at this stage. With irrigation affected, crop growth is being adversely impacted. Farmers say that if power supply is not restored in time, they may suffer financial losses.
The main demand of villagers and farmers is that the faulty transformer be replaced quickly and power supply restored. They say continuous power disruption is affecting agricultural work and saving the crop is becoming increasingly challenging. Farmers have urged the administration to take the matter seriously and issue necessary directions to officials of the electricity department.
They say that if the problem is resolved quickly, irrigation can resume in the fields and it will help save the paddy crop. In an agriculture-based rural economy, timely irrigation and uninterrupted power supply are crucial. Replacing the faulty transformer and restoring electricity in the affected area could provide relief to farmers. The farmers are now looking to the district administration and the electricity department for action.
