Sultanpur
Lodhi, 23rd July
At
the three places in the area of Mand the Beas river is forcing pressure on the
advance bundh. That's causing a big danger to the paddy crops of the farmers.
In order to strengthen the weakening advance bundh the farmers of the villages
are engaged day and night in filling the sand bags This year the first
continuous rain of the month of Sawan has increased the level of the waters in
the rivers. The pressure at three places the advance bundh is weakening. With
the hard work and using the every method the farmers are engaged in
strengthening the bundh. Whereas the soil bags being put there also after
cutting the grass and sticks and balian from the trees are also being thrown in
the river to stop the pressure.
The
farmers Kashmir Singh and Shaminder Singh told that in year 2008 Environment
Lover Sant Balbir Singh Seechewal by sending a new machine had first time made
the base by saving the 12 villages from the floods of the Mand area of
Sultanpur Lodhi. At that time by spending 18 lacs from their pockets on diesel,
the advance bundh of 11 km on the banks of the Beas river from Baupur to Gude
mand was strengthened. The farmers are angry that The ruling parties with their
votes become rulers but nobody come to their help at the time of crisis.
Every
year the farmers have been spending 5-7 lacs and trying to strengthen this
bundh. The villages Aahli Kalan, Aahli Khurd, Bule, Hazara, Chak, Karmuwal,
Dhunn, Gude, Fatehwal, Game-Jamewal, Sarupwal, Shekhmanga, Bharoana, Takia etc
have been suffering since decades due to floods because of the weak bundhs of
Holy Kali Bein and of river Beas. The farmers of the area told that due to the
efforts of Sant Seechewal and making of the advance bundhs 15000 acres of paddy
crops in the 12 villages between the sangam of the Holy Kali Bein and Beas
river was saved. Last 20 years of karsewa of the Holy Kali Bein has changed the
picture and destiny of the area.
