Meanwhile, 17 irrigation projects that had been sanctioned but remained inactive for three years in Beed and now been de-recognised. These projects, approved by the Water Resources Department, were intended to make the drought-hit district water-sufficient. However, despite the allocation of funds and administrative approval, work on these projects never commenced.
As a result, the Water Resources Department has cancelled the recognition of these schemes. This is being seen as a major setback for Beed, which continues to struggle with severe drought conditions.
