“There was no flood from the upper Kaddam project as the rainfall was low. As a result, the water level in the Yellampally project started to decrease gradually. If this continues like this, there will be problems in the water supply. That is why, before such problems occur, water is being lifted through emergency pumping as a precautionary measure,” read the statement.
Madhapur, Kondapur, Gachibowli, Hi-tech City, Lingampally, Miyapur, Chandanagar, Kukatpally, KPHB, Quthbullapur, Alwal, Malkajgiri and nearby areas will receive water through this.
