Imphal, March 15 2021:
Kishan Credit Card Holders Welfare Association, Khangabok expressed gratitude for making it possible for agricultural lands in areas around Khangabok, Athokpam and Leishangthem to start double cropping through proper irrigation facilities.
Moirangthem Munal, convenor of the association said the agricultural land in these areas had never been able to invest in double cropping despite having the potential to do so as the areas lie between Wangjing and Arong rivers.
But the current government under Chief Minister N Biren Singh and other elected members aided by concerned departments have taken up various initiatives to solve the problems faced by farmers, he added.
The initiative to provide water through canals to these areas was undertaken as a part of the same scheme and has resulted in the areas becoming double cropping abled agricultural land, he added.
