Kushtia, Jhenaidah, Chuadanga, and Magura.<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">Cultivation of other crops, including Aman, is going on.<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">Due to a lack of rain on arable land, crops are getting damaged in the sun.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"HwtZe\" lang=\"en\"><span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">Farmers are desperate for irrigation water.<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">Among the three pumps of the Ganga-Kapotaksha irrigation scheme, two pumps were closed earlier.<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">One of them was operational, but the other was shut down due to electrical reasons.<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">Farmer Anwar Hossain said, &#8216;Aman has seen root rot disease and attacks of maggots.<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">Various insecticides have been applied, but to no avail.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"HwtZe\" lang=\"en\"> <span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">Aman does not get water from the Ganga-Kapotaksha irrigation scheme during the peak season.<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">Water has to be purchased from irrigation pump owners at an extra cost.<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">I planted paddy in the canal to have water, but now I see no water.<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">Due to a lack of water, various crops, including paddy and vegetables, are getting damaged.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"HwtZe\" lang=\"en\"> <span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">Many of us have stopped boring in the hope of water from the Water Development Board.<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">Every year, we cultivate with canal water.<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">At this time, I see that there is no water, and I am in a lot of trouble.<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">There is a high probability that the target level of Aman rice will not be achieved.<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">Mizanur Rahman, executive engineer of the Water Development Board, said, &#8216;The PLC power circulation unit of the pump has been damaged due to high voltage.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"HwtZe\" lang=\"en\"> <span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">The pump has been shut down since September 17th, 2023. <\/span><\/span><span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">I will be able to repair it soon.<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">PLC switches are not available anywhere in Bangladesh as they are from Japan.<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">So we have to import from China or Korea.<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">Hopefully, it will come to us soon.<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">An emergency meeting is being held today, Thursday, in the Faridpur Water Development Board
