The #Irrigation Advisory Committee of Bhadra reservoir, which met on Monday, resolved to launch water for Kharif crops within the command space for 120 days from Tuesday, July 22.

Water will probably be launched in the precise financial institution canal that goes to department canals at Anaveri, Davangere, #Malebennur, and Harihar.

This was determined in a gathering chaired by Minister for School Education #Madhu Bangarappa, who heads the committee. The dates for releasing water within the left financial institution will probably be finalised later, because the restore works have been on.

B.P. Harish, D.G. Shantana Gowda, Latha Mallikarjun, the legislators from the command space collaborating within the assembly, demanded the early launch of water instantly in order that growers within the tail finish of the canal would profit.

MLA for Tarikere G.H. Srinivas urged the committee to take strict actions to take away unlawful pumpsets on the precise financial institution canal. Ok.P. Amshumanth, chairperson of Bhadra Command Area Development Authority, representatives of farmers’ organisations, and officers have been current.

Soon after the assembly, R. Ravichandra, member-secretary of the IAC and superintending engineer of Bhadra Project Circle, issued the notification for the water launch timetable.
