Imphal, June 29 2019:
With very little monsoon rain, farmers in the State are worried of the drought like situation which poses a major threat to the crops.
To relieve the Naoriya Pakhanglakpa farmers of their agony, all five River Lift Irrigation schemes in the Assembly Constituency under the Minor Irrigation Department have been put into action to supply water to the farms.
The RLI schemes were put into action with the assistance of local MLA Soibam Sobhaschandra who provided the required machineries such as JCBs and fuel for the engines and machines.

Water pumps installed at Waishel Maril and Nambul river are supplying water to the farms.
MLA S Sobhaschandra who is in Delhi said over phone that the he had plans to put the RLI schemes into action much earlier.
Due to low water availability in the river and other sources, the supply of water was delayed, he said.
The current works may not be enough to supply water to all farms in the constituency, but maximum efforts will be put into to cover all areas, he said over phone.
Meanwhile, inspecting the ground works at the farms, BJP Naoriya Pakhanglakpa Mandal general secretary Meisnam Ranjit said that maximum efforts are on to get water from all available sources.
JCBs and other heavy machineries are being put into actions to clear drainages for supply of water to the farms, he said.
He also lauded the local MLA for his help and assistance to the farmers in the area.
