"jurala-project"

Irrigation Minister N. Uttam Kumar Reddy emphasised that the Telangana government is prioritising irrigation projects in the Palamuru region, including Jurala, to tackle drought and backwardness.

Former Ministers and BRS leaders in Mahabubnagar have accused the Congress government of deliberately neglecting the Palamuru Rangareddy Lift Irrigation (PLRI) project.

Mahesh, a 25-year-old from Bhudidapadu, jumped into the Jurala project canal to avoid a rashly driven car that had collided with his bike. While his friend Janakiram sustained injuries, Mahesh is feared to have been swept away.

Repairs to Jurala’s crest gates have been halted due to rising inflows, with work postponed until late 2025. Reduced capacity, traffic pressure, equipment failure, and lack of specialised repair support have added to the operational challenges at the project.

The Ramanpadu project was about five kilometres away from the railway station and the baby crocodile is suspected to have crawled into the station in the night, a forest official said.

The inflows into common irrigation projects of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana remained almost dismal last year and there was no let up in the situation so far this year.
