Shankar Mahato, a farmer of Laghwa, informed that although there is a field in the irrigated area, it could not be planted. The seeds have dried up due to lack of sufficient water. "There is a farm next to the hill, but the water from the canal is not coming, the farmers who have the first farm have surrounded the water, the farmers below that have not received water," he said, "Every day there is a fight between the farmers for water, it has increased the animosity between the farmers, it is about planting and production, even the seeds have wilted, there is concern about what to eat if not planted."

Two months ago, even though the seeds that were sown by Akash in the water have matured, he is saddened that he could not plant them due to lack of water. "The seeds are two months old, neither is it raining, nor have we been able to get water from the canal," he said. Kamaldev Prasad Mahato, Head of Knowledge Center Malangwa, said that the planting which will start from the first week of June is only being done in some irrigated areas. According to Mahato, till Thursday only about 40 percent planting has been done in the district. While last year at this time, about 80 percent of planting was completed.
Chief Mahato said that the percentage of planting could not increase because the farmers did not get irrigation facilities. "It is natural for fields to be barren in non-irrigated areas, but even in irrigated areas, the fields are barren, which has not increased the percentage of planting," he said.
