Last year, the district administration acquired 694 private boreholes and wells of farmers in the district. Farmers did not water the standing crops in the fields, but gave water to villages in drought-hit areas so that they would not face water shortage. The government has delayed the payment of Rs 3 crore 60 lakh for acquisition. It was expected to be paid within a month, but now even after ten months, the farmers are deprived of money.
Last year, the administration acquired 694 boreholes and wells to alleviate water scarcity in Latur district. In June, a demand was made for acquisition funds. The amount has been approved by the government. However, it is in the treasury for signature. Once approved, it has been said that it will be given to the farmers through the group development officers.
For the last ten months, farmers have been getting fed up with the water supply department asking when the acquisition money will arrive. The ruling and opposition parties are not ready to talk about the farmers' issue in the session. They are confused about whose party is bigger and who said what. Therefore, is there anyone left to protect the farmers in this state? This question has arisen. So, the farmers are asking when the money that has been delayed for the last ten months will be received.
