The state government has started preparations to bring Yamuna water in the state. It will be brought to Churu district via pipeline from Ghaziabad in Uttar Pradesh and will be used for drinking and irrigation in Churu, Jhunjhunu and Sikar district. The Water Resources Department has prepared a project of Rs 20 thousand crores for this.
Water Resources Minister Dr Ram Pratap, during a press conference on Monday, said that the pre-feasibility report of 20 thousand crore rupees for bringing Yamuna water to Rajasthan was presented in the Central Water Commission(CWC). The Commission has approved the report and has appreciated the state government for this.
Now, DPR will be made and sent to the CWC. Principal Secretary Shikhar Agrawal said that under this project, about 270 KM long, five pipelines of 3.2-meter diameter each will be laid down from Ghaziabad to Rajgarh (Churu) after which, the irrigation and drinking problem of the area will be resolved.
On the fourth anniversary of the state government, Dr Ram Pratap organized a press conference and told about four years achievements of his department. He said that the government sanctioned the budget of Rs 11 thousand 930 crores in four years whereas, in the previous government’s five years, only 4 thousand 257 crores projects were made. He said that many major projects will be inaugurated and laid out in coming days.
In this order, the foundation stone of Parwan Project will be laid on December 15 and work orders of Rs 273 crores have been issued for construction of dam and tunnel under this and after 15 days, the foundation stone for the construction of the Isarda dam will be done. Similarly, the foundation stones of the Batissa Nallah Project and Dholpur Lift and Irrigation Project in Sirohi district will be put up.
“State government has formed Rajasthan River Basin and Water Resources Planning Authority. Under the Eastern Basin Transfer Project, drinking water and Irrigation facility will be provided in 2 lakh hectare area in 13 districts namely Jhalawar, Baran, Kota, Bundi, Sawaimadhopur, Ajmer, Tonk, Jaipur, among others,” said minister.
LOAN WAIVER: A REPLY, NOT ANS
The Minister of Water Resources, Dr Ram Pratap, did not give a clear answer to the farmers’ bank loan waiver, on Monday. But in a philosophical way, the minister said that all political parties and farmers have to solve it, by studying this problem.
In order to consider the demand for farmers’ debt waiver, the state government had formed a committee under the chairmanship of Dr Ram Pratap. On the question, in a press conference, Dr Ram Pratap said that in states like Kerala, Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra etc., it has been declared to waive bank loans of farmers. These states have announced debt waiver, but have not done anything on the ground. He mentioned that something has happened in Kerala and Karnataka in this direction for debt waiver. That’s why our government sent a team of officials to study. Apart from this, the members of the committee, co-operative Minister Ajay Singh Kilak and Minister of State for Energy Pushpendra Singh, went to Karnataka to study the work.
