Rs 40 crore canal demolished for poor quality construction
This brand new Rs 40 crore canal took over 20 years to build. Its foundation stone was laid by Rajiv Gandhi way back in 1988. But now the 23-kilometre-long canal which was meant to irrigate one of India's driest belts - Vidharbha - a region infamous for its farmer suicides, will now be demolished for extremely poor quality construction.
