Palai village bears losses due to laxity of Budaun Administration

 Villagers of Palai in Budaun (UP) are angry over the lax attitude of the district administration. The village is lagging behind due to the annual flood situation.

 Villagers told Narviay Yadav (in yellow T-shirt) that hundreds of acres of farm land is submerged in the flood water during the rainy season every year.

The flood situation in Palai and surrounding villages has been existing since pre-independence era. There is no permanent respite from the flood problem.

Old people of Palai told Narvijay that the British engineers dug a passage to drain out the excess rain water to the nearby Sot river, but it did not work.

The annual flood in Singthara Jheel is the major cause of the poverty Palai region.

Narvijay Yadav, then a student of BSc at University of Allahabad, virtually forced the UP Govt in 1987 to issue emergency orders for the construction of a road to Palai and a Drain for overflow of excess rain water of the Jheel.

The 'Singthara-Sot Drain Project' is in urgent need of repair to save the farmers of the Palai village from further loss. This village is in Bisauli tehsil.
