Tireless Efforts Underway to Resume Irrigation Canal in Nutnussa
For the past two days, the Irrigation and Flood Control Department in Handwara has been working around the clock in Nutnussa to restore the vital irrigation water canal that serves the region — a lifeline for over 10,000 farmers.
Special recognition goes to Manzoor Ahmad Lone, who is truly a one-man army, working tirelessly and shoulder to shoulder with the public to ensure the smooth resumption of the canal. His dedication has been unwavering.
This entire effort has been further inspired by Bhat, a selfless local known for his commitment to water management. Responding to his call, the department mobilized quickly, and the process is being handled with remarkable coordination between officials and local residents.
While this issue has often gone unnoticed in the past, occurring almost every year without much attention, the resilience of the community and the dedication of these individuals stand out.
Good news is on the horizon, and both the department and the farming community of Nutnussa can look forward to a positive outcome very soon.
