Devadurga, November 15 : Is there no value for the sweat and hard work of farmers? Who will respond to the struggles of our food producers? Raising these questions, farmers have intensified their protest demanding an adequate supply of water to the tail-end farmers of the Narayanpur Right Bank Canal.
The protest, organised by the Devadurga Taluk Unit of the Karnataka Raitha Sangha and Hasiru Sene under the leadership of State President Sri Kodihalli Chandrashekhar, has entered its second day at Sirwar Cross in Devadurga Taluk.
It is unfortunate that farmers, who depend entirely on agriculture for their livelihood, are being forced to protest for water. Due to the inadequate supply of water to the tail-end areas of the Narayanpur Right Bank Canal, farmers are facing severe difficulties. There is growing concern that months of hard work and investment may go to waste if sufficient water is not supplied at this crucial stage of crop cultivation.
Isn't It the Government's Responsibility to Protect Farmers' Crops?
It is essential to ensure that water reaches not only farmers in the upper reaches of the canal but also those cultivating lands in the tail-end areas. Scientific measures must be implemented to prevent discrimination in water distribution. The protesters have strongly demanded that the Irrigation Department immediately take necessary steps to ensure an adequate supply of water for agricultural crops.
Why should farmers be forced to take to the streets to fight for their basic rights? Why are the authorities remaining silent instead of identifying and resolving farmers' problems in advance? These questions have become central to the ongoing protest.
Farmers Continue Their Protest on the Second Day
Farmers have united under the banner of the Karnataka Raitha Sangha and Hasiru Sene, Devadurga Taluk Unit, and are raising their voices for their legitimate demands. The protesters have expressed their determination to continue the struggle until a permanent solution is provided to farmers' problems.
The concerned Irrigation Department officials must visit the protest site, listen to the farmers' grievances and immediately take a decision to ensure adequate water supply to the tail-end areas of the Narayanpur Canal. The protesters have emphasised that authorities must move beyond verbal assurances and take concrete action to fulfil the farmers' demands.
On this occasion, several farmer leaders and activists, including Ramalinga, Babu Gourampet and Irfan, were present and extended their support to the farmers' protest.
The main objective of this struggle is to protect farmers' livelihoods, ensure sufficient water for their crops and secure justice for farmers at the tail-end of the Narayanpur Canal.
