Farmers of the Chhachhrouli block today forced open gates of the two channels of the Western Yamuna Canal (WYC) supplying water to their fields, at the Tajewala head water works, 35 km from Yamunanagar. The water supply was reportedly stopped yesterday. On December 2 also, farmers from 40 villages of the block had forced open the channels.A delegation of the farmers later met the Deputy Commissioner, Superintending Engineer (Irrigation Department) and the Sub-Divisional Magistrate. The farmers have been told, said sources, that the regular supply to the block could not be made until the water level in the canal reaches 2,500 cusecs (the water level in the canal has reduced significantly). The farmers have been warned against taking the law into their hands. No senior official of the Irrigation Department could be contacted for comments.
