Lack of Irrigation System Adds Woes to Assam Farmers

A CORRESPONDENT

MERAPANI, Aug 20: The farmers of Merapani and its adjoining areas have demanded proper irrigation facilities. The peasants are facing a harrowing time not only due to the lack of any irrigation system but also because the area has not experienced sufficient amount of rainfall this year. Under Merapani subdivision, more than 500 villages could not go for Sali cultivation this year due to less rainfall. There is also apprehension that the farmers might have to manage themselves only with Rabi cultivation.
