He said that to ensure optimum utilisation of available water, the government has decided to give preference to farmers adopting micro-irrigation while issuing tubewell connections. He, however, said that it is not possible to provide tubewell connections in areas where the water levels are constantly depleting. Khattar was speaking in the state assembly during Question Hour. He further said that out of the total tubewell connections applied in 2018, 4,412 connections are pending, and added that these connections will soon be given. (editor dailyworld.in)
