"kannepalli-pump-house"

Former minister T Harish Rao alleged that the Congress government had created drought-like conditions by refusing to lift Godavari water through the Kannepalli pump house. He accused the government of neglecting farmers and demanded immediate operation of the Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Scheme

BRS leaders and farmers staged a dharna at Kondapochamma Sagar demanding immediate lifting of Godavari water from the Kannepalli pump house to address drought conditions in Siddipet and neighbouring districts. They accused the Congress government of failing to respond to farmers’ needs.

The Telangana High Court has directed the National Dam Safety Authority (NDSA) to file their response to a writ petition seeking an independent technical assessment of the Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Scheme.

BRS working president KT Rama Rao asserted that the party would return to power in Telangana with K Chandrashekhar Rao as Chief Minister. He dismissed talk of a Congress wave, citing private surveys that indicated BRS was poised to regain office.

Former Minister Puvvada Ajay Kumar criticised Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy over his remarks on opposition leaders, defended the Kaleshwaram project, claimed water could still be lifted from Kannepalli, and said the BRS would intensify its protests on public issues

Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy lashed out at retired engineers, accusing them of colluding with the previous BRS government in irregularities and criticising their suggestions on water projects. He singled out Shyamprasad Reddy for allegedly shifting positions on the Medigadda barrage and warned that such engineers deserved punishment.

Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy rejected opposition demands to lift water from the Kanepalli pump house, citing NDSA recommendations that barrages cannot be operated without adequate storage. He accused BRS of misleading people, criticised BJP MP Etala Rajender for supporting the demand, and dismissed allegations of releasing water to Andhra Pradesh as "Guru Dakshina."

BRS Legislature Party deputy leader T Harish Rao on Friday accused Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy of endangering Telangana’s water security by refusing to operate the Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Scheme despite adequate Godavari inflows.

The Telangana Retired Engineers Association has claimed that Kannepalli, Annaram and Sundilla pumps can be operated safely with proper procedures. It said flood flows in the Pranahita could enable water lifting through the system without causing damage if monitored carefully.

Irrigation Minister N Uttam Kumar Reddy said the NDSA has prohibited operation of Medigadda, Annaram and Sundilla barrages until rehabilitation and safety certification are completed. He accused the BRS of spreading misinformation about the Kannepalli pump house and outlined the State’s evidence‑based rehabilitation plan.

Police arrested BRS cadres across Mancherial district on Sunday while they were heading to join K.T. Rama Rao’s tour of Kannepalli Pump House.

Preventive arrests were also reported in several other mandals.

Tension prevailed as BRS working president K.T. Rama Rao's convoy encountered multiple police barricades while heading to the Kannepalli pump house. BRS workers removed obstructions, allowing the convoy to proceed, while Rama Rao accused the Congress government of obstructing the visit.

How is it justified to cause hardship to lakhs of farmers by avoiding the lifting of water from Kannepalli pump house? Vinod Kumar posed a question to the Congress government.

The Almatti dam started receiving inflows that are in the range of about 1,00,000 cusecs on Tuesday. The catchment of the upper Krishna irrigation projects in Karnataka have been receiving heavy rains for the last four days.

The engineers have successfully operated four pumps in the last two weeks and today they managed to operate the fifth pump.
