Farmers demand continuous water supply until December 15, citing potential losses in crops

At a farmers' meeting held at the premises of Anjaneya Devasthana in Emmigganur village, the State Farmers' Union and Green Army local unit president V. Viresha demanded that the continuous water supply to the Tungabhadra Canal (LLC) be decided in the Tungabhadra Advisory Committee meeting scheduled for Monday. Viresha stated that stopping the water supply from November 11 could cause losses of at least ₹50,000 per acre to horticultural crops like millet, paddy, and ragi. He urged that water must be continuously supplied until December 15, as crops are nearing harvest in about a month and a half.
