Rahul Bhambure, Gangubai’s grandson, said that there is a canal less than 2 km from these farmlands, however farmers don’t get a single drop of water from there. Meanwhile, Gangubai said she would take this matter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to get a closed pipeline established from the canal or from Chaskaman dam to irrigate the farms.
