BJP MLA Sandeep Jakhar reached Malukpur Minor
Canal closure was imposed in Abohar fifteen days ago by the canal department to get the canals cleaned. Today MLA Sandeep Jakhar reached Malukpur Minor with his team to take stock of the cleaning arrangements being made by the department.
.
BJP MLA Sandeep Jakhar said that the department is merely supplying food in the name of cleanliness, whereas it is expected that water will be released into the canal tomorrow, but till now the canals have not been completely cleaned, there is still a lot of silt in the canals. And other materials are accumulated, due to which it is impossible for water to reach the tailings in sufficient quantity.
The MLA said that the government has floated tenders worth crores of rupees for cleaning the canals, but the lack of proper cleaning clearly shows the corruption taking place in it. He has demanded from the Punjab government to get the canals cleaned properly and investigate the corruption in it.

Anger among farmers, they say water is not reaching them
At the same time, Panchayat member and farmer leader Panna Lal of village Bakainwala and other farmers expressed their anger and said that when they came today to take stock of the cleanliness system at Chuhdiwala Minor, they saw that no cleaning was done in this canal at all. The canal is filled with dirt and mud.

Cleaning work was left incomplete – farmer
He told that the private contractor who has been given the work of cleaning the canal by the Canal Department, has got only 7 towers cleaned on one tail of the minor near Bakanwala and Koyalkheda, while the rest of the cleaning work was left incomplete. Is. Water will be left in the canals till tomorrow, hence the work of cleaning the canal remains incomplete and again they will not be able to get full water on the tails. This is a push and betrayal by the department towards the farmers.
He has demanded from the XEN of the canal department that this canal should be completely cleaned, so that they can get complete canal water. When I tried to talk to XEN about this, I could not contact him.
