Sandeep Singh said that he would discuss the legitimate demands of farmers with the Chief Minister, Sh. Manohar Lal.

He said that it is a matter of great pride for the government that the farmers have themselves came forward to give their land.
The Chief Minister also has a vision that the Saraswati River should flow continuously on the surface. He said that if the water of Dadupur-Nalvi canal is connected to the Saraswati River, then the water level in this area will also increase, said Sh. Sandeep Singh.

Farmers said that to ensure the availability of water to their upcoming generations, they are ready for any kind of sacrifice.
