Punjab farmers are now benefiting from daytime electricity for irrigation along with an increased supply of canal water, a move that has brought relief to the agricultural community. The availability of power during the day has made it easier for farmers to irrigate their fields without relying on late-night electricity supply, while the improved canal water distribution is expected to reduce dependence on groundwater and lower irrigation costs.
