The State government has been releasing irrigation water into the Kudavelly stream for the third consecutive year, to meet the irrigation needs of the farmers living along the stream.
Since the project is getting 6,300 cusecs inflows from Gayatri pump house, water resource development officials are releasing the similar quantity of water by five flood gates since Friday night.
Irrigation authorities are preparing to release water into Haldi Vagu in the next couple of days which will eventually merge with river Manjira, a tributary of Godavari, near Medak
Buoyed at seeing Godavari water, local farmers performed pujas to the water at Srigada bridge and also performed palabhishekam to the portraits of CM KCR and MAUD Minister KT Rama Rao
