Water crisis for northern farmers 

24 Jul 2021

By Yumiko Perera  The lack of water for agriculture has further aggravated the issues faced by the farming communities in some parts of the country, The Sunday Morning learnt.  Ramalingam, a farmer from Jaffna, noted that the shortage in water for agri purposes has further burdened the farming communities up north that are already struggling to work their crops owing to the fertiliser issue in the country.  Speaking with The Sunday Morning, Ramalingam said: "The lack of water is something farming communities in the North have always had to deal with. Most farmers use pump wells but they have dried out; the crops barely get the required amounts of water."  However, when The Sunday Morning reached out to Minister of Agriculture Mahindananda Aluthgamage in this regard, he elaborated that the Ministry had not received any complaints in this regard.  "We have not received any complaints in that regard. However, I will look into it," he said.
