H.D. Kote: With the Kabini Dam in the taluk, which has inadvertently earned the name of being the first major dam to get filled up generally in the State with the onset of Monsoon, yet to fill up even after one month of monsoon season, farmers of the region are a worried lot.
The Dam built across River Kabini, which originates from the confluence of Panamaram and Manandawadi rivers in Wayanad district of Kerala, usually gets filled up in the month of June itself, just a few days after the onset of monsoon. But this year, the Dam built near Sargur, is yet to fill up even after the first week of July, due to a failed monsoon and this has been a great cause of worry for the farmers.
