I stand to support the appropriation to the State Department for Irrigation. One key issue we should discuss is utilisation of land through irrigation. I think we passed a very important Motion about this here in Parliament. One of the key authorities in this State Department is TARDA. I would like to laud them for what they have done in my constituency, although, they have been allocated little money. I want to request them to focus more on ground water instead of boreholes. We know the impact caused by boreholes they drill in many constituencies."}
