Minister of State Abdul Sattar and officials conducted a survey of 7 state-of-the-art barrages to be set up in the entire river basin.

A final survey of the construction of state-of-the-art Barrages in the Purna river basin was carried out with the objective of enriching the farmers of the taluka by increasing the irrigated area. Officers and office bearers including Minister of State for Revenue and Rural Development Abdul Sattar walked 6 km from Bhavan to Kerala to Khodkaiwadi river basin and inspected the planned site of barrages. The completion of these barrages will definitely help in preventing farmer suicides by increasing the irrigated area by 54 per cent by blocking water for about 33 km.
