Unfurling the national flag on the occassion of Telangana State Formation Day here, Sukender Reddy said that it was the right occasion to pay tributes to hundreds of youth who sacrificed their lives for the cause of Statehood. After Statehood was achieved, Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao put the State on the path of development besides taking up schemes for the welfare of poor and needy people. The Chief Minister’s vision placed Telangana on top in development and welfare, he added. Everyone has the responsibility to support the Chief Minister in turning his dream of a Bangaru Telangana, into reality, he added.
He said the State government had taken up irrigation projects Kaleshwaram, Sitarama, Palamuru-Ranga Reddy and Dindi lift irrigation scheme to turn Telangana as a State of one crore acres wetland by utilising every drop of water from our share in Krishna and Godavari rivers. Kaleshwaram project was emerged as a source of irrigation for 85 per cent of the lands and catering the needs of drinking water supply.
