Amritsar, May 4

Deputy Commissioner Ghanshyam Thori appealed to the farmers in fulfilling the country’s grain requirements and using natural resources wisely, the Punjab agricultural university has recommended cultivation of high yielding varieties which consume less water.

He said that the level of underground water in Punjab is going down very fast and, in a research done by Punjab Agricultural University, it has been stated that due to excessive use of water, paddy cultivation has reduced the available underground water resources of the state.

About 80 per cent of Punjab’s area is being drained of water from the ground, which is a matter of great concern.
