Sonepur: Hundreds of farmers staged a blockade at Bhudobar village under Ullunda block in Sonepur district on Saturday.
Owing to the blockade, road communication between Sonepur and Biramaharajpur was affected. A large number of vehicles remained stranded for several hours on the busy stretch.
The agitators expressed strong resentment over the alleged failure of the district administration to supply water to the canals to irrigate their farm lands.
“We have been facing the grave situation as our agricultural fields have started turning barren for lack of water. As a result, we are unable to generate a livelihood from agriculture”, an agitator said.
The protest will be intensified in the days to come, if the administration fails to take appropriate steps for providing water supply to our agricultural lands at the earliest, the agitator added.
