Putakhal was full of water even a few years back at this time of the year but due to less rainfall last year, the canal runs dry this time, while hundreds of farmers along it depend on the water to irrigate their fields. This canal is connected to the Tanker Khal river, which also suffers from lack of navigability and thus contributing to the drying up of Putakhal.
