Badal gives nod for Rs 150 cr rehabilitation project of irrigation water channels

Chandigarh, Jun 21 (UNI) Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal today gave approval for an ambitious project of rehabilitation and upgradation of irrigation water field channels in south west Punjab at a cost of Rs 150 crore.
Presiding over a high level meeting to review the progress of various irrigation projects at Chief Minister’s Residence here this morning, Mr Badal said this project should be taken on top priority as the field channels carrying irrigation water to the farmer’s fields in the water logged areas of south west Punjab required immediate up-gradation on account of dilapidated condition leading to water logging and water use inefficiency.
Mr Badal added funds to the tune of Rs.100 crore would be taken from NABARD and remaining funds of Rs 50 crore from Punjab Infrastructure Development Board (PIDB) for the said purpose.
