Save Charoda Khajan Farming, the call of Assanora farmers

BICHOLIM: Last week, due to breach in Tillari Canal in Maharashtra, the water flow in Amthane and Sal rivers decreased, which affected the river upstream of Fuden, Assanora Para. Around 100 farmers of Assanora were dependent on the Sal river,  for the past several years. Upstream, they cultivate 60 acres of land and till today they make a living from this water. Today, they are struggling to save their crops due to water shortage. The local WRD engineers have thrown up their hands and have said they cannot do anything.
