MALDA, 8 OCT: Agriculture officials are expecting better rabi crops this year in Malda after receiving a good amount of rainfall in the post monsoon period. It may be noted that due to scarcity of rain, cultivation of kharif crops was delayed and hampered in this district.According to the agriculture (technical) development officer, Mr SN Das, the district has already received an average 208 mm rainfall in October. The records show that the district usually receives 114 mm rainfall between October and December. Till September amount of rainfall recieved was around 383. 2 mm.The present trend of rain will not hit aman paddy in high and medium crop level field where aman's long duration high yielding variety has been cultivated, according to agriculture department.“If such rains continues till second week of October it would help farmers in cultivation of rabi crops supplying sufficient water for irrigation”, said Mr. Das, agriculture (technical) development officer.On the other hand, following incessant rain, low laying areas in many parts of English Bazaar Municipality (EBM) has become waterlogged.The civic body had to engage many labourers to clear the congestion in the drainage system to drain out stagnant water. Last night many low-lying areas in more than nine wards including Netaji super market, Sarbamangalapally, Prantapally, Subhashpally had remained waterlogged.The vice chairman of the EBM, Mr Dulal Sarkar said: “We did not expect abnormal rains in post monsoon period. At least eight wards have been waterlogged due to congestion in drainage system. We have engaged labourers and requisitioned pump sets to clear stagnant water.”Owing to non implementation of long awaited Lakshmipur drainage scheme, Lakshmipur Colony in English Bazaar block was inundated last night following incessant rain.Mr S Misra, the executive engineer of irrigation department, said: “The district may receive more rain fall in next few days to make up its average rainfall (1450 mm) per year here but there is no flood fear”. “The flood spell is over”, he added.
Water pump stations lie defunct in Malda
MALDA, 8 OCT.: The English Bazaar municipality is facing problem to provide required water to the residents of nine areas due to the non-functional pumping stations here. Out of the 42 pumping stations, nine pumping stations have collapsed. The civic body has approached the district magistrate for providing funds for restoration of those tubewells with the help of Public Health Engineering department (PHE).Owing to lack of funds the civic body could not take up the restoration work on its own and finally had to approach the south Malda MP, Mr A H Khan Choudhury so that he can allot at least Rs 50 lakh from the MPLAD.The English Bazaar MLA, Mr Krishnendu Choudhury recently held a meeting with the district magistrate Mr Sridhar Ghosh on this issue seeking arrangements of funds a few days ago. “Having failed to implement the surface water treatment plant in English Bazaar, which is based on the Mahananda river, we are facing difficulties to provide water to Malda town. Some pumping stations have been lying defunct when the underground water level (layer) went down this year,” said Mr Dulal Sarkar, vice-chairman of the English Bazaar municipality.“This is a perennial problem in Malda town. We face acute drinking water crisis every year when the upper layer of underground water recedes,” Mr Sarkar said. According to the vice-chairman, to overcome the present crisis, the civic body is trying to manage funds from the Uttar Banga Unnayan Parishad. On the other hand, the PHE's mechanical division, including engineers of its civil wing, inspected the already collapsed pump-houses and suggested to re-sink the tubewells again but the civic body still could not approach them to begin the work due to fund crunch.” ;SNS
