Jharkhand Chief Minister Raghubar Das Saturday said that the completion of the multi-crore rupee Mangal Dam will bring with it a new hope in the lives of farmers of the state. Addressing a public meeting, after Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid foundation stones for six projects at Chiyanki airport ground here, he said the entire Palamau division comprising Garhwa and Latehar districts have always been drought-prone, due to which the farmers have been forced to migrate in search of livelihood, despite having their own land.
He said once the construction work is completed, the farmers will be able to grow two-three crops. He said that the UPA under the tenure of former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh took no initiative to complete the pending projects. Prime Minister Narendra Modi should be thanked on behalf of the entire state for making efforts for completion of the project which would help the farmers of Bihar and Jharkhand, he said.
