Under fire from the Opposition for delaying the completion of Sutlej Yamuna Link (SYL) canal, Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal on Tuesday said that efforts are being made by the State Government for an early implementation of the Supreme Court orders on SYL canal.
Apart from this, process is also in progress to get state share of water through Renuka, Lakhwar and Kishau dams, said the Chief Minister while interacting with progressive farmers from the State during the 'Ek Aur Sudhar' programme organised here.
He urged the farmers to cooperate with the State Government in water conservation measures so as to ensure the supply of irrigation water in the left out areas also.
Manohar Lal said that a
Rs 2200 crore scheme has been prepared for the special repair of pump sets of Western Yamuna Canal and rejuvenation of canals and minors in the state.
The Chief Minister also said that with a view to give boost to the food processing, a provision of Rs 1100 crore has been made in the Union Budget. A total 42 mega food parks would be established in the country, said he.
While describing the farmers of Haryana as hardworking and diligent, he urged the progressive farmers to make other farmers aware about the advanced farming techniques. The State Government would soon organize a Kisan Kalyan Karyakaram under the Ek Aur Sudhar programme in which such farmers would be honoured, he added.
