For farmers cultivating on the banks of Bellary Nala in Belagavi, each monsoon is a challenge.

Frequent flooding of Bellary Nala that has been causing them huge losses for the past seven years. The farmers have been demanding that officials desilt the nala, but no action has been taken so far.

Heavy rains in the past 2-3 days have flooded Bellary Nala and submerged the fields flood water and slapping heavy losses for farmers.

This is not new for the farmers as each year for the past 6-7 years the fields on the banks of the Nala are flooded, making the survival of the farmers difficult.

On numerous occasions, the farmers had demanded that the Nala be de-silted but as always no one wants to hear to what a farmer says and the result is heavy losses for the farmers.

The banks of June Belgaon, Halga, Vadgaon, Shahapur, Bastwad, Basavan-Kudachi and surrounding areas are the worst hit.

  1. दरवर्षी बळ्ळारी नाला विकासासाठी निधी मंजूर होतो पण नाल्याचा विकासच न झाल्याने परिसरातील शेतकऱ्यांच्या पीकांचे भरपूर नुकसान होते.आताच्या म्रूग नक्षत्राच्या पावसाने तर बळ्ळारी नाला परिसरातील आताच पेरणी केलेल्या भातासह इतर पीकं पाण्याखाली गेल्याने दुबार पेरणी तसेच लावणीची शाश्वतीच नाही. कारण हवामन खात्याने 101% पावसाची शक्यता वर्तवल्याने पूढे काय होईल या भितीने गळीतगात्र झाला आहे. कारण आता लावणी करावी म्हटल तरी एकरी 40/50 हजार रु खर्चावे लागणार आणी परत पूर आलातर तो खर्चही वाया जाणार म्हणून प्रत्येक शेतकरी चिंतेत आहे. तेंव्हा बळ्ळारी नाल्याचा कायमचा प्रश्न निकालात काढण्यासाठी सरकारने आता जाणिवपूर्वक लक्ष घालून नाल्याचा सर्वे,शेतीतील पाणी नाल्यात जाण्यासाठी मार्ग,बांधावरील बफर झोन,गाळ काढने,खोली वाढवून पाण्याचा निचरा बळ्ळारीत होने,मधे रस्ते आहेत त्या पूलांची रुंदी वाढवणे तसेच इतर अडचणींचा असल्यायास शेतकऱ्यांशी चर्चा करुन बळ्ळारी नाल्याचा प्रश्न सोडवल्यास प्रत्येक शेतकरी सरकारला धन्यवाद दिल्याशिवाय रहाणार नाही.
    त्याचबरोबर शिवारात असलेल्या सरकारी तलावात पाणी नसेलतर तलाव भरण योजनाही राबवून या भागातील शेतकरी जगवावा अशी शेतकरी बंधूतर्फे सरकारला कळकळीची विनंती.
