The State government has asked the district Collectors to implement proper water management so that standing crops under all projects were not affected during the crucial stage of harvesting.
Special Chief Secretary (Irrigation) S.K. Joshi reviewed the availability of water under various major and medium irrigation projects during a video conference from the Secretariat on Friday.
He told the Collectors to regulate water supply for irrigation by coordinating with the officials of Agriculture, Irrigation, and Revenue.
