Early Times Report

SRINAGAR, Mar 17: Taking cognizance of increasing complaints from the farmers about their agricultural lands being submerged due to rising water levels in the Hokersar Wetland, Advisor to the Chief Minister, Nasir Aslam Wani, today convened a high level meeting to assess and address the issue.
The meeting was attended by Divisional Commissioner Kashmir, Chief Engineer Irrigation and Flood Control and the Wildlife Warden Wetlands, Kashmir.
Various farmers from several areas, including Soibugh, Gotapora, Daharmuna, Hajibagh, Hakermulla, and Syed Pora Budgam, have been facing severe losses as their cultivable land remains inundated for long periods. With waterlogging preventing timely sowing of crops, the farmers are struggling to sustain their livelihoods. Many affected villagers have been approaching the Advisor, seeking urgent intervention to resolve the crisis.
During the discussions, the officials acknowledged the severity of the issue and stressed the need for immediate action.
To find a long-term solution, it was decided that a committee comprising the officers from the Revenue, Irrigation and Wildlife departments will be formed.
The committee will conduct a detailed demarcation of the affected areas and propose measures to prevent further damage to the farmlands.
The Advisor assured the farmers that the government is committed towards addressing their concerns while ensuring the ecological balance of Hokersar Wetland is maintained.
“We understand the hardships faced by the farmers on this account.
The administration will take all necessary steps to resolve this issue in a way that protects both livelihoods and the environment,” he added.
The committee would soon begin the field assessments shortly and will work closely in consultation with the local stakeholders. The administration has assured regular updates on the progress of the initiative to maintain transparency and keep affected communities informed.
