New Irrigation Boost on the Horizon for Punjab Farmers

The Punjab government is evaluating a proposed canal irrigation project aimed at expanding water access across Mohali, Rupnagar, and Fatehgarh Sahib districts in response to local demand. Water Resources Minister Barinder Kumar Goel clarified in the Vidhan Sabha that there are no immediate plans to extend canal water to Dera Bassi. The project remains in the planning phase, with implementation dependent on finalizing a modified canal alignment based on a Social Impact Assessment (SIA), acquiring necessary land, and securing sufficient funding.
