He pointed out that if the local leaders could convince farmers to go for a crop holiday and encourage them to provide lands needed for modernisation of the works; the projects could be completed in a time frame of six to eight months, he said.

Harish said that the modernisation works with enhanced carrying capacity of the three canals would benefit about 61,012 acres of ayacut.
