Mann Government: Punjab claims major irrigation boost as canal water reaches fields after decades, covering 76 lakh acres and improving groundwater levels.
The Punjab government has claimed a significant achievement in the agriculture sector, stating that farmers across the state are experiencing major relief as canal water has once again reached agricultural fields after several decades.
According to Aam Aadmi Party Punjab Media In-Charge Baltej Pannu, the Mann Government has successfully expanded canal-based irrigation across the state, bringing positive change for the farming community.
Canal Water Reaches Fields After Decades
Officials associated with the Mann Government claim that long-awaited restoration and improvement of canal systems have resulted in water reaching farmlands that had been dependent on groundwater for years. This development is being described as a major step toward sustainable agriculture in Punjab.
Baltej Pannu highlighted that this achievement reflects the Mann Government ’s focus on reviving traditional water resources and reducing pressure on underground water reserves.
Nearly 76 Lakh Acres Covered Under Irrigation
As per the statement, nearly 76 lakh acres of agricultural land is now being irrigated through canal water across Punjab. This shift has reduced dependence on tube wells and electricity-based irrigation systems, helping farmers lower their input costs.
The expanded irrigation network is also being seen as a step toward improving long-term agricultural productivity in the state.

Farmers in multiple districts have reportedly observed better water availability and reduced pressure on borewells, especially during peak agricultural seasons.
