12. Issues and Constraints:

 Security issues; the area is highly sensitive due to militancy; project as well as contractors
/ consultants’ staff have restricted movement in area.
 Local disputes and conflicts among the farming communities.
 Complex technical / unique execution modality for watercourse construction
 Devastating flood in August, 2022
 Sophisticated canal irrigation system replacing centuries old system of Rodh Kohi spate
irrigation, whereas influential farmer are agitating to water rights.
 Command area development is an evolutionary process usually take decades.
