Parsa, July 27
The district disaster management committee in Parsa has unveiled a mandatory provision of taking prior approval for installing deep boring water projects.
A meeting of the committee presided over by Chief District Officer of Parsa, Ganesh Aryal, on Saturday took this decision as random installation of the deep boring water projects was rife in the district.
Likewise, the District Agriculture Knowledge Centre would submit details about the status of paddy seedlings plantation, status of transplanted paddy seedlings in the farms and the loss incurred by the farmers for their failure to transplant the paddy seedlings due to drought as well as the assessment of loss for providing compensation to the farmers, CDO Aryal said.
The Assistant Chief District Officer of Parsa, Babulal Regmi, said that a decision was made to write to the Ministry of Home Affairs to request to the Government of India to provide 850 cusecs of water from the Gandak Canal as per the Gandak Agreement between Nepal and India since Nepal was not getting the volume of water as per the agreement.
“Present status of water supply from the Gandak Canal would also be monitored,” Assistant CDO Regmi added. Furthermore, the number of beneficiaries from the installed deep boring water projects and the present status of such deep boring projects would be monitored, he added.
Similarly, a nine-member committee was formed under the chair of Chief of District Coordination Committee, Niranjan Sah Sonar, to immediately coordinate and facilitate the wter supply and irrigation facility in the district, Regmi informed.
