Summary:
Shetrunji dam in Palitana taluka supplies irrigation water to farmers of Mahuva, Talaja, Palitana and Ghogha talukas. Farmers claim that enough water is available but the authorities are not supplying water even after taking an advance payment. "Authorities have taken money for three round of irrigation but has so far given only two round of irrigation. Farmers had requested to release water for irrigation but the request was denied, claimed Rabari. Then there is no reason to withhold water at a time when farmers desperately need it," said Rabari..
