Haryana Finance Minister Capt Abhimanyu said the state government would find a permanent solution to deal with water-logging in agricultural fields.

Addressing a public meeting in Garhi village here on Thursday, the minister said a review meeting regarding measures to control floods would be held in December to deal with the situation. Earlier, a review meeting in this regard was being held in the month of June every year which has been held early to take timely measures to control floods and tackle water-logging.

He said huge damage had been caused to crops in different areas of the state due to water-logging caused by untimely rains. The state government would, therefore, frame a policy for permanent redress to the problem so that such conditions do not cause any damage in future. The flood-control review meeting would now be held six months earlier to ensure that all arrangements were made to avoid water-logging of agricultural lands.
