Singur canal suffers breach again in Pulkal mandal

A distributory canal of the Singur left bank canal suffered a breach at Isojipet in Pulkal mandal on Sunday morning, the second such incident in less than a year.

With heavy inflows reaching the project from upstream, irrigation officials had released water into both canals to impound minor irrigation tanks and meet the requirements of



Vanakalam crops. However, the fresh breach dashed farmers’ hopes.

The same canal had breached in September 2024. Though repair works were taken up then, the recurrence has exposed the poor quality of the works executed.

Health Minister Damodara Rajanarasimha visited the spot on Sunday to examine the situation.
