Mandya, DHNS: The high-level technical team of the Central Water Commission (CWC) visited Mandya district on Friday to take stock of the ground reality in the Cauvery basin.
The team obtained information from the experts and local engineers accompanying them and gathered all details.
While the farmers explained their plight in Kannada, officials from the state translated it into Hindi and English for the team members. The team, which toured the district in two helicopters, landed at the helipad at Huligerepura Gate in Maddur taluk and proceeded further on road.
The team collected bunches of transplanted paddy at a farmland in Hemmanahalli. MLA D C Thammanna explained about the water problem, depleting water table, failed borewells and others. The team captured the withering crop on their cameras and tablets.
Speaking to media persons in Maddur, Jha said that he found farmers of the district were in distress. “We have listened to the farmers and have personally inspected the fields. The team will visit Hemavathy dam and Harangi dam on Saturday and later conduct the inspection in Tamil Nadu. A report would be submitted to the court,” he added.
