Mancherial Farmers demand Kadem dam water supply for crops till Nov 30

Farmers demanded that water should be supplied from Kadem dam for agriculture requirements till November 30. They staged a sit-in on a road at Thimmapur village in Jannaram mandal on Thursday.

Farmers from both Rampur and Thimmapur regretted that farmers cultivating paddy and other crops at the tail-end of the dam had reached the booting stage and they would incur huge losses if water was not supplied.

They said that they would not be



able to repay loans and witness a financial crisis, driving them to die by suicide.

The agitating farmers wanted the government to supply water from the dam till November 30. They urged Irrigation officials to review their decision to reserve water for drinking needs by stopping supply for agriculture requirements from November 7. 

They said that they would intensify a stir against the government if their demand was not considered.
