Therefore, expressing anger against the administration, 300 farmers of the tehsil knocked at the Itiyadoh project office and the tehsil office, demanding the release of water from the Itiyadoh project.
Summer rice and other crops are planted in the rabi season in various villages of the tehsil including Antarji, Arsoda, Kasvi, Ashti, Ravi, Mulurchak etc. villages of Tehsil Armori. Even though there is a 40 percent water quota for the Itiyadoh project for the district, due to the non-availability of water for farmers living at the far end, the rice crop of some farmers is on the verge of drying up. On the other hand, strong dissatisfaction is expressed towards the farmers who do not release water from the Itiyadoh project to the crops.
Finally, 300 angry farmers from the tehsil knocked at the Armory office in Itiyadoh on Monday. But due to non-availability of officials, the farmers took their march to the Tehsil office. Angry farmers demanded official to visit fields to inspect dried crops, Itiyado Project to compensate damaged crops for not giving water to crops, suspension of Deputy Executive Engineer Mende from Itiyado Project Office, Wadsa, who discriminated against farmers of Armori tehsil etc.

Peas and other agricultural crops are on the verge of withering due to lack of water. Due to which the farmers many times request water from the Itiyado administration.
