Along with District Collector K Shashanka, the MLA had inspected right canal works of Mid Manair that are in progress at Indurthi, Mudimanikyam, Rekonda, Duddenapalli, Saidapur and Ghanpur villages in Husnabad constituency on Thursday.

Speaking on the occasion, MLA Satish Kumar said the government is committed to supply water to the last ayucut and as part of that the government had sanctioned Rs 30 crore for taking up repairing works of canals present under Mid Manair Dam.

Collector K Shashanka said that the government has introduced new methods and reforms in agricultural field. The officials will decide which crops will suit better depending on the soil of a particular locality. If the farmers cultivate such kinds of crops then they will get maximum yields with profits, he stated. If the farmers cultivate same kind of crops, then the demand will decrease and there will be no benefits.

The farmers must cultivate such crops, which has demand in the market, he explained. Shashanka also urged them to adopt new and advanced technology in agriculture. With an intention to do justice to the farmers, the government has brought such reforms, he added.
