The Chairman while addressing in the meeting, directed the officers to facilitate the FOs in preparing cost estimates and tendering process for de silting works. He said that the participatory irrigation management system has been adopted to strengthen the role of farming community in canal operations and it needs to be supported vehemently. The chairman said that irrigation water is the basic right of every farmer so the FOs and other concern should make the de silting campaign more effective to achieve the target of water supply up to tail ends.
