Malegaon : The supply of agricultural pumps is often interrupted due to inadequate pressure supply to agricultural pumps in the area including Walawade. The crop is getting damaged on a large scale. Angry farmers staged a protest outside the office of the Electricity Distribution Company located at Vadner Khakurdi. In a memorandum, angry farmers have warned of self-immolation if power supply is not restored in the next two days.
The farmers of the area, including Valvade, were supplied with electricity from the Vadner Khakurdi sub-station. But due to overloading of supply in this area, power supply in this supply and other areas is getting under less pressure. As a result, agricultural pumps are not running and the failure rate of the pump is also increasing. Mahavitaran plans to supply electricity to agricultural pumps only for eight hours. Due to frequent power failure, farmers get electricity for only four to five hours. At present the crops of Rabi season need water. Onion cultivation is going on in some places.
