Why Delhi's Rawta village is flooded with problems

Most farmers are ecstatic when the rains arrive. Not Sanjay Kumar. The 37-year-old resident of Rawta village in southwest Delhi dreads the monsoons. One heavy shower and his farm gets submerged. This year too, his investment of Rs 25,000 on paddy went to waste. Unneeded water is a bane for Rawta’s farmers throughout the year, with the runoff from the Najafgarh jheel, Najafgarh drain and wastewater from Gurgaon all making it to this side of the border.
