Punjab Newsline, Chandigarh, December 27-
Haryana Chief Minister, Nayab Singh Saini has sanctioned Rs.147.88 lakh for the reconstruction of the Syphon and Cross Regulator at Banarsi Distributary. This initiative aims to resolve long-standing issues in water flow and benefit several villages in the region.
The villages set to benefit from this project include Khanpur, Hebatka, Maroda, Kora Bas, Jhimrawat, Maroda Bas, Basi, Puthli, Jalalpur, Firjpur Dahar, Imamnagar, Mohhammad Saral Aklimpur, Bukharaka, Bhadas, Karheri, Karkera, Jetaka Aklimpur, Rajaka, Uleta, Ghagas, Notki, Nagina, and others.
Due to the narrow mouth of the siphon at RD 15750, flowing debris often gets stuck, causing overflow in the canal and obstructing water from reaching the pump house. This also hampers the water supply to the tail ends of the canal, leaving farmers in downstream areas without sufficient water for irrigation. The reconstruction of the siphon will eliminate this bottleneck, ensuring a seamless water flow and preventing water wastage.
Additionally, a cross regulator is needed at RD 47650 of the Banarsi Distributary to enhance water levels in the Shadipur Minor. This will ensure that water reaches the tail-end villages of Shadipur Minor, addressing irrigation needs in these areas.
