Speaking to media persons on the sidelines of the visit, MLA Rameshwar informed that he is visiting the dam and canal with Minor Irrigation Department and KEC to prepare under which central and state funds the dam and canal could be developed further.
Assuring that the development work on the dam and canal will be taken up soon while maintaining quality, he appealed to people not to encroach on the canal which has been done in some places, so that the irrigation water can flow adequately.
