The said drain is running from west and east and it is a notified canal running from Kopparru village to Chinamamidipalli village. Thousand acres of lands are being cultivated on either side of the drain. The said drain was completely blocked with silt and waste materials, and the drain water, which is supposed to flow, is not flowing freely. As a result of which, the drain water from their fields is also not flowing into the drain canal as the same is situated in the upper lands. Therefore, the matter was brought to the notice of the respondents that due to their inaction the lands are being sub merged and crops are getting damaged. Further, he also made a written representation dated 22.03.2006 seeking immediate action in this regard, but no action has yet been taken by the respondents.
