No tube-wells to be allocated in canal command area, motors over 30 BHP banned
The Haryana government’s new policy for allotment of new tube-well connections for irrigating fields in the northern and southern parts of the State has come under severe criticism from the Opposition Congress. Hitting out at the Bharatiya Janata Party-Jannayak Janta Party (BJP-JJP) government, Congress’ national general secretary Randeep Singh Surjewala said that on May 1, 2021, a new policy for providing tube-well connections was issued by power companies in Haryana. “As per this policy aimed at snatching the livelihood of the son of the soil, if the farmer’s land comes under the canal command area, then no tube-well connection will be allotted to him,” he alleged.
