Locals have alleged massive fund bungling in digging works by the Irrigation Department here of the left, right and main canal and their branches under the Upper Indravati project.
The standard of works was very low. Four days back, a portion of the left canal embankment fell off creating flood in the paddy lands in Gurjiguda, Chilguda, Mandraguda and Chilakpur villages. Lands were also sand-cast due to flooding.
Due to low rainfall, the farmers depend on irrigated water from the Indravati canals but the villagers in the areas often bear the brunt of floods. The gross negligence on the part of the engineers has led to the disaster, the locals alleged.
