BJP state council member Kh Ibomcha distributed 16 sets of sprinkler and 50 sprayer pumps to farmers of Lamlai area at his Nongada residence on Wednesday.
Speaking on the occasion, Ibomcha noted that the delay and shortage of seasonal rainfall has caused inconvenience to farmers of the state and as such the sprinklers and sprayer pumps were handed over to the farmers to mitigate their hardships to some extent.
While informing that he had already apprised the department concerned to facilitate commencement of paddy cultivation in areas where irrigation water could be drawn from nearby sources, he also said that the sprinklers and sprayer pumps were purchased as subsidised rate under the Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojana.
