Water level of Holy Kali Bein on the
rise due to heavy rains in Doaba
Hyacinth herbs become the main cause
of the floods every time
The work of removing the hyacinth by
Sant Seechewal Ji alongwith the karsewaks is going on
Sultanpur Lodhi, 1st Aug
Keeping
in view the continued heavy rains in the last few days the karsewa of removing
the hyacinth from the Holy Kali Bein ,by the Environment Lover Sant Balbir
Singh Seechewal Ji is going on. Due to heavy rains the water level of the 165
km long Babe Nanak Di Bein has increased at Sultanpur Lodhi. That has resulted
in a big loss to the farmers at many places and at some places the water has
touched the fields. The hyacinth on large scale has struck under the bridges in
the Bein and that is being removed by the machines and boats by Sant Seechewal
Ji alongwith the karsewaks.
On
this occasion Sant Balbir Singh Seechewal Ji said that he alongwith sewadars
and with the cooperation of sangats has been engaged in removing the hyacinth
for the last many years. He said that this hyacinth becomes the main cause of
the floods during rainy season. Due to stoppage of water due to this hyacinth
the farmers have to suffer great loss of the crops every time. He told that the
machines engaged in this continuous work are using diesel of rupee 20 to25
thousand daily. This sewa is being run with the cooperation of the sangats.
During
this Sant Seechewal Ji took a view of Kanjli, Subhanpur, Bhawanipur, Gurdwara
Sant Ghat, Gurdwara Ber Sahib and the bridges near Busowal, where hyacinth
struck every year. He made an appeal to the administration officials and the
villagers to remove the hyacinth instead of moving that farther. He told that
earlier there were 3 bridges in Sultanpur Lodhi and it was easy to remove the
hyacinth but with the addition of 3 platoon bridges and 4 other bridges on
550th Prakash Purb now there are total 10 bridges, due to this it has become
difficult to remove the hyacinth from 10 bridges. Sant Seechewal Ji told that
if 250 to 300 cusick of waters go on flowing in the Bein through out the whole
year then this hyacinth problem cannot arise.
It's
worth mentioning that Sant Seechewal with the cooperation of the sangats has
taken the charge of removing the hyacinth at 3 places for the last few days.
After removing the hyacinth from near Gurdwara Sant Ghat now this karsewa is
going on the bridges near Gazipur,Harnampur and the bridges at Khera Dona
village, so that the hyacinth might not struck under the new bridges of
Sultanpur Lodhi.
