Due to heavy rain in the state, rivers, streams and canals are in spate. As of now, a total of 226 dams in the state are either full or overflowing. Expressing happiness over the good rains, CM Bhajan Lal Sharma said that it is a good sign of prosperity and happiness of the state. The rain has brought greenery all over the state and crops are flourishing. There is enthusiasm among all sections including farmers due to the flood situation of water sources.
CM Bhajan Sharma said that the meaningful results of the Karmabhoomi se Mathrubhumi Abhiyan and Vande Ganga Jal Sanrakshan – Jan Abhiyan being run by the State Government are now visible. Surplus rainwater is going into the ground through recharge shafts and water conservation structures built under the Mathrubhumi Abhiyan from Karmabhoomi and groundwater is being recharged. He said that under this campaign, 45 thousand water structures will be built in the next four years with the help of expatriate Rajasthanis.
CM Bhajan said that similarly, the works of water conservation and harvesting under the Vande Ganga Jal Sanrakshan-Jan Abhiyan launched across the state are also helping in rainwater harvesting. Under this, works related to repair, cleaning, improvement of drainage system, removal of encroachments, shramdaan in dam areas, plantation, water harvesting and water conservation structures were carried out. Due to these efforts, rainwater is directly reaching the reservoirs.
CM Bhajan Sharma appealed to the people of the state to take special care during the rainy season. Be alert to avoid heavy rain, lightning and other natural disasters. Also, stay away from waterlogged roads and bridges.
