State cabinet clears Rs 4,200-crore irrigation package
The package covers canal lining, micro-irrigation subsidy and 42 lift schemes.

The state cabinet approved a Rs 4,200-crore irrigation package covering canal lining and 42 lift schemes.
Nearly a third of the outlay is earmarked for micro-irrigation subsidy for smallholders.
Work orders for the first phase are expected before the end of the quarter.
Farmer groups welcomed the outlay but sought clarity on the subsidy disbursal timeline.
