Decades-Old Waterlogging Problem Affected Farmers
Barahi village in Bahadurgarh Tehsil, Jhajjar District, Haryana, has faced severe waterlogging for nearly 50 to 60 years. During every rainy season, water from surrounding villages accumulated in the fields because there was no permanent drainage system.
According to the villagers, nearly 1,000 to 1,500 acres of agricultural land remained submerged every year, while several residents estimated the affected area to be around 2,000 acres. Small farmers owning one or two acres suffered the most as their crops were repeatedly damaged, making it difficult to sustain their families.
Despite repeated appeals to successive governments and public representatives, villagers said no permanent solution was achieved.
Village Representatives Submitted a Prayer
With the issue remaining unresolved for decades, Sarpanch Mohit Kumar and other representatives of Gram Panchayat Barahi visited Shri Dhanana Dham and submitted a prayer before Tatvdarshi Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj.
They explained that thousands of acres of farmland were becoming unsuitable for cultivation because of recurring waterlogging. After hearing their concerns, He immediately directed a technical survey of the affected area.
Drone Survey Identified the Drainage Requirement
The following day, a special survey team reached Barahi village and carried out a drone survey in the presence of the Gram Panchayat. The survey examined the complete route from the waterlogged locations to the canal and identified the need for two separate drainage points.

The technical assessment recommended:
- One pipeline measuring approximately 4,300 feet
- A second pipeline measuring approximately 3,300 feet
- Total requirement of 7,600 feet of 8-inch pipeline
- Two 20 HP motors
The survey findings were presented before Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj, after which assistance was approved.
Pipeline Materials Reached the Village Within Days
Following the approval, trucks carrying the required materials arrived directly at Gram Panchayat Barahi.
The materials included:
- 7,600 feet of 8-inch pipeline
- Fevicol
- Air valves
- Bands
- Nuts and bolts
- Other pipeline-related materials
According to the villagers, the speed with which the assistance reached the village surprised everyone because the issue had remained unresolved for decades.
Villagers Welcomed the Relief Convoy
As the convoy entered Barahi village, tractors gathered outside the village while residents welcomed the arrival with flower garlands and traditional drums. The procession passed through different parts of the village before reaching the programme venue, where the materials were handed over before the Gram Panchayat.
Several villagers said they had never witnessed such a quick response for a problem that had existed for nearly six decades.
Farmers Shared Their Experiences
During the programme, several farmers said they had seen the waterlogging problem since childhood and had repeatedly approached different authorities without success.
According to them:
- Water from nearby villages entered Barahi during the rainy season.
- Both crop seasons suffered because of standing water.
- Many families owning only one or two acres faced serious financial hardship.
- Large portions of farmland remained uncultivated for years.
Some elderly villagers stated they had been witnessing the problem for around 60 years, while others described the assistance as giving farming families renewed hope.
Gram Panchayat Confirms Receipt of Materials
Sarpanch Mohit Kumar confirmed that the Gram Panchayat had received the complete pipeline-related material, including the 7,600-foot pipeline and all necessary accessories.
He stated that the Gram Panchayat planned to lay the pipeline within about a week. After the pipeline is laid underground and the work is reported, the remaining process for handing over the two 20 HP motors will be completed as per the directions of Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj.
Block Parishad member Rajat and other village representatives also said the materials had been received without any shortage and thanked Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj for extending assistance under the Kisan Mazdoor Bachao Abhiyan – Phase II.
Permanent Drainage Solution Brings Fresh Hope
The assistance by Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj marks an important step towards addressing Barahi village’s long-standing waterlogging problem. Once the pipeline is laid underground and the drainage system becomes operational, rainwater is expected to be channeled towards a safe outlet, allowing affected agricultural land to be cultivated again. Villagers expressed hope that the initiative would strengthen the livelihood of farming families who have faced recurring losses for decades.
