Leader of Opposition in Rajasthan Assembly Rameshwar Dudi today demanded the state government released adequate water from Indira Gandhi canal, saying farmers may face irrigation and drinking water crises.
Dudi said that the canal is getting only 7200 cusec water due to some problem in Punjab's Harike Barrage from where the canal starts.
"This is a very sensitive issue for farmers which should be addressed by the government. If this situation was not improved, this may lead to crisis for irrigation and drinking water," he said.
Dudi said that he has kept drawing attention of the chief minister over the poor condition of the canal but no concrete steps have been taken up by the government.
