Considering the present situation of inadequate rainfall, we have requested to DVC to continue release of 12000 acres feet water for three more days starting from 14th August 2010. meanwhile, all blocks must review the functioning of minor irrigation installations like DTW, STW and RLIs and take steps to operational defunct units with the help of Agri irrigation and Agri Mech divisions. We are releasing necessary funds to them for the purpose. WBSEDCL has also been asked not to disconnect any connection to such units during the crisis period for any default in payment.
WBSEDCL has also agreed to allow temporary service connection to the needy farmers on the spot to run pumps for irrigation purpose at the nominal rates. All efforts should be made by block authorities to ensure irrigation to the paddy already planted.
