Sources in the Sardar Sarovar Narmada Nigam Limited (SSNNL) revealed that poor command area management has led to the irrigation of merely 87,000 hectares of land, as against the potential of 9 lakh hectares at the current dam height. Work on further raising the dam height has come to a standstill, for the Narmada Control Authority (NCA) has been refusing to give its nod for the same due to the failure of the beneficiary states of Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra to rehabilitate project affected families (PAFs) in their respective areas.
